Smith v. Beasley et al

Filing 39

ORDER granting 37 Joint Motion for Entry of Confidentiality Order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Joel B. Toomey on 11/16/2010. (ADM)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA JACKSONVILLE DIVISION OMEGA SMITH, Plaintiff, v. VICKI BEASLEY, et al., Defendants. / ORDER THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Joint Motion for Entry of Confidentiality Order (Doc. 37). A proposed confidentiality order is attached to the Joint Motion. (See Doc. 37-1.) The Court finds good cause exists for the entry of a confidentiality order in this case. However, in accordance with the policy of the Middle District of Florida, when a party seeks to file a document under seal, the Court shall determine the matter upon motion by the party. See, e.g., United States v. Baez-Alcaino, 718 F. Supp. 1503, 1506-07 (M.D. Fla. 1989). Any such motion must conform with Local Rule 1.09, which sets forth the CASE NO. 3:10-CV-00317-J-32JBT

procedures to be followed when a party seeks to file motions to seal. See M.D. Fla. R. 1.09. Therefore, the Court has modified paragraphs 5 and 10 of the proposed

confidentiality order. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: The Joint Motion for Entry of Confidentiality Order (Doc. 37) is GRANTED in part. A separate Confidentiality Order will be entered immediately.
