Case No.: 10-CV-00135-LHK
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO FILE
UNDER SEAL; REQUIRING
REDACTIONS

At the hearing held on May 11, 2011, the Court expressed concern that the documents filed

18

by Defendant Chase Home Finance, LLC as Docket No. 51 contained information possibly

19

required to be redacted, such as a taxpayer ID number, account number, or other personal

20

information. Accordingly, the Court ordered Defendant to file a redacted version of the documents

21

by May 13, 2011. Instead, Defendant filed a motion seeking to seal all of the documents submitted

22

as Docket No. 51 in their entirety.

23

The Local Rules of this Court require that all requests to file under seal be “narrowly

24

tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(a). Defendant’s request to seal

25

all of Docket No. 51 does not comply with this rule. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion to seal is

26

denied without prejudice. In order to protect Plaintiff, the Court will temporarily restrict public

27

access to Docket No. 51. However, Defendant must file a renewed motion to seal that includes a

IT IS SO ORDERED.
