Case No.: 10-CV-05797-LHK
ORDER GRANTING
ADMINISTRATIVE MOTIONS TO
SEAL
Plaintiff has filed Administrative Motions to Seal, Docket Numbers 134 and 145. Docket
17
Number 134 seeks to seal unredacted versions of several documents attached to Plaintiff’s Sur-
18
Reply (Docket Number 133). The attachments contain information relating to the underlying child
19
dependency proceedings in Alameda County Superior Court. These documents contain sensitive
20
information relating to the minor J.H. This information is properly sealable, and Plaintiff’s request
21
to seal redactions from and attachments to Docket Number 133 is GRANTED.
22
Docket Number 145 seeks to seal Exhibit A to Plaintiff’s Declaration filed in support of her
23
Motion to Strike the East Bay Children’s Law Office and Jonna Thomas’s Motion to Dismiss, and
24
the unredacted version of her Motion to Strike. Because Exhibit A to Plaintiff’s Declaration
25
contains a sealed transcript of the proceedings of the underlying juvenile dependency proceedings,
26
it is properly sealable. Because the redacted portions of Plaintiff’s Motion contain information
27
previously designated sealable, this information is properly sealable as well. Thus, Plaintiff’s
28
request is GRANTED and sealing of Docket Numbers 143 and 144 is approved.

Case No.: 10-CV-05797-LHK
ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO SEAL
1
Plaintiff is reminded that Administrative Motions to Seal, Proposed Orders, and other
2
supporting documents (other than the documents Plaintiff seeks to seal) should not themselves be
3
filed under seal. Therefore, the Court does not approve sealing of Docket Number 145. In
4
addition, parties should not publicly file the redacted versions of sealed documents until sealing has
5
been approved by the Court. See Civ. L.R. 79-5(c)(5).
6
IT IS SO ORDERED.
