ORDER

This matter is before the court on plaintiffs’ consent motion to seal the exhibit filed at
docket entry 367. (DE # 368.)
This action involves, in part, private nuisance claims brought on behalf of a minor
plaintiff. (See DE # 366, at 1.) A guardian ad litem has been appointed for the minor and the
parties have reached a settlement resolving the minor’s claims. (Id.) On 18 March 2021,
plaintiffs filed a consent motion for approval of the minor settlement. (DE # 365.) Plaintiffs
also filed a consent motion to seal one exhibit in support of the motion for approval (the
“Exhibit”). (DE # 368.) On 23 March 2021, the court provided public notice of the request to
seal the Exhibit and of the public’s right to object within fourteen days. (DE # 370.) To date, no
objections have been filed. For the reasons stated in Webb v. Murphy-Brown, LLC, No. 4:14CV-152, DE # 69 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 9, 2021), the motion is GRANTED.
This 9 April 2021.
