ORDER

MARTIN GAMBOA,

15

Respondent.

16
Petitioner, a state inmate, proceeds through counsel and seeks habeas corpus relief under

17
18

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Respondent filed a renewed, unopposed request to seal pages of the three-

19

volume clerk’s transcript. (ECF No. 14.) Respondent seeks to seal pages of the clerk’s transcript

20

that were sealed in state court and which appear to contain personal information subject to

21

protection from public inspection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2. The three-volume

22

clerk’s transcripts have already been lodged electronically on the docket with the pages requested

23

to be sealed redacted. 1 (See ECF No. 9.) The court grants the request to file under seal the pages

24

of the clerk’s transcript that were sealed by the state court.

Respondent’s notice of request to seal identified the pages to be sealed as pages 19-29, 41, 4345, 405-09, 441-45, 488-89, 616-40, and 645-47 of the three-volume clerk’s transcripts. (ECF No.
14.) However, based on review of the three-volume clerk’s transcript at issue and the pages to be
sealed which were submitted to the court, the court finds the pages sealed in state court are the
following: 10-29, 41, 43-45, 405-09, 441-45, 488-89, 610-40, and 645-47 of the three-volume
clerk’s transcripts.

1

For the reasons set forth above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that respondent’s renewed,

2

unopposed request to seal portions of petitioner’s state court transcripts (ECF No. 14) is granted

3

and the Clerk shall file the redacted pages 10-29, 41, 43-45, 405-09, 441-45, 488-89, 610-40, and

4

645-47 of the three-volume clerk’s transcript under seal in the present action.
