Turnage v. Cleveland State Bank et al

Filing 52

ORDER denying 48 Motion to Seal. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jane M. Virden on 10/6/14. (ncb)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
GREENVILLE DIVISION
ELLIS TURNAGE
VS.

PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:13-CV-00145-JMV

CLEVELAND STATE BANK, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Before the court is Defendants’ Motion [48] to Seal Plaintiff’s Motion for Additional
Time [33]. Specifically, Defendants point out that certain portions of the motion contain
references to confidential information and to “information the existence of which is
confidential.” Defendants previously provided to the undersigned, in camera, and to Plaintiff a
copy of the motion, designating those portions they deem confidential. Defendants seek an order
sealing the previously filed motion and requiring Plaintiff to refile it with the confidential
information redacted.
Because Defendants have failed to submit to the court the particularized findings required
by governing case law to support the sealing and redaction of the information at issue, the
motion is hereby denied without prejudice to Defendants’ right to reurge the motion.
SO ORDERED this 6th day of October, 2014.

/s/ Jane M. Virden
U. S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
