Case No. 2:10-cv-001434-MMD-NJK
ORDER

Order to Show Cause Due to Confidential Settlement Information (#196).
Under LR 10-5, “papers filed with the Court under seal shall be accompanied by a motion for

15

leave to file those documents under seal.” LR 10-5(b). “All papers filed under seal will remain

16

sealed until such time as the Court may deny the motion to seal or enter an order to unseal them, or

17

the documents are unsealed pursuant to Local Rule.” Id. Therefore, motions to seal must accompany

18

the documents they wish to seal.

19

Here, the Plaintiffs have yet to file the document they wish to seal with the Court and it did

20

not accompany the motion to seal. Thus, the Court cannot determine at this time whether sealing the

21

Response is proper.

22

Based on the foregoing, and good cause appearing therefore,

23

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion to File Under Seal Their Response to

24

Order to Show Cause Due to Confidential Settlement Information (#196) is DENIED without

25

prejudice.

26

DATED this 13th day of March, 2013.
