records and documents, including judicial records and documents.” Courthouse News

Serv. v. Planet, 947 F.3d 581, 591 (9th Cir. 2020) (quoting Courthouse News Serv. v.

26

Brown, 908 F.3d 1063, 1069 (7th Cir. 2018)). Certain documents are exceptions to this

27

right and are generally kept secret for policy reasons, including when documents contain
