This matter is before the court on the Plaintiffs' counsel response to the court's May 29,
2015 Order [DE-19] and motion to seal [DE-23] that response.
At the outset, the court notes that the motion to seal fails to comply with the Local Rules
of this court, the CM/ECF Policy Manual, nor Fourth Circuit precedent. Nevertheless, given that
the response details personal health information of a relative of Plaintiffs' counsel, the court
fmds that the privacy interest of counsel and her relative outweigh the public's interest in access
to the document. Accordingly, the court fmds good cause to seal the response, and the motion to
seal [DE-23] is ALLOWED. The court also finds that Plaintiffs have shown good cause for their
counsel's failure to comply with the court's April24, 2015, Order [DE-15].
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to continue the management ofthis case.

SO ORDERED. This the__!:±_"day of June, 2015.
