Plaintiff,

ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.

18

Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this action for judicial review of a final

19

decision of the Commissioner of Social Security under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Pending before the

20

court are plaintiff’s requests to seal (ECF Nos. 23 and 24). The document sought to be filed

21

under seal has been routed to and reviewed by the undersigned in connection with plaintiff’s

22

request.

23

Under Eastern District of California Local Rule 141(a), the court may file

24

documents under seal upon a request making the showing required by applicable law. Under

25

Local Rule 141(b), any request to seal documents shall set forth the statutory or other authority

26

for sealing. In plaintiff’s requests, plaintiff asks that her filing be sealed because “local law

27

officers name legal name & under cover names – and plaintiff mental health records.” ECF

28

Nos. 23 and 24. Because plaintiff does not cite any authority in support of her requests to file
1

1

under seal, the requests are denied. The Clerk of the Court shall file plaintiff’s document

2

submitted with the requests to seal on the public docket subject to the viewing restrictions

3

outlined in Local Rule 206(c).

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
