VINCENT NEIL WHARTON,

[Docket Nos. 74, 77]

Defendant(s).
Pending before the Court are two motions to seal exhibits filed with respect to a discovery

17 dispute. Docket Nos. 74, 77; see also Docket Nos. 58, 68 (sealed documents). A response was
18 not filed to either motion. Proposed redactions were filed with the motions. Docket Nos. 74-1,
19 74-2, 74-3, 74-5, 77-1, 77-2, 77-3. The Court may seal information filed in relation to a non20 dispositive motion upon a particularized showing of good cause. See, e.g., Kamakana v. City &
21 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180 (9th Cir. 2006). In this case, the parties seek to keep
22 secret redacted information related to medical issues, sexual history, and settlement discussions.
23 Good cause exists to do so, and the motions are therefore GRANTED. The Clerk’s Office is
24 INSTRUCTED to continue maintaining under seal the exhibits at Docket Nos. 58 and 68.
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
