ORDER
(Docket No. 88)

15

Pending before the Court is Defendants’ motion to seal an exhibit attached to their motion for

16

summary judgment. Docket No. 88. Parties seeking to maintain the secrecy of documents attached to

17

dispositive motions must show compelling reasons sufficient to overcome the presumption of public

18

access. E.g., Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180 (9th Cir. 2006). The

19

document at issue consists of Plaintiff’s medical record, and the Court finds compelling reasons exist

20

to seal it. Accordingly, the motion to seal is hereby GRANTED and the exhibit filed at Docket No. 89

21

shall remain sealed.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
