Case No. 2:13-cv-02156-JCM-NJK
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
SEAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE
(Docket No. 71)

15

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to seal. Docket No. 71. As this Court has made

16

clear previously, its entry of the stipulated protective order did not include a finding that any particular

17

documents were entitled to secrecy and, instead, a motion to seal must be filed concurrently with any

18

sealed materials that addresses the relevant standards for sealing. Docket No. 61. The pending motion

19

to seal fails to address the relevant standards. Moreover, the Court is unclear how sealing of the

20

materials is proper when it appears that Plaintiff has also excerpted them in a publicly-filed motion. See

21

Docket No. 73 at 5. Accordingly, it is hereby DENIED without prejudice. The Clerk’s Office is

22

INSTRUCTED to keep Docket No. 75 sealed for the time being. Any renewed motion to keep those

23

materials sealed must address the applicable standards and must be filed no later than July 31, 2015.

24

The failure to do so may result in the Court unsealing those materials.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
