ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Motion for Summary
Judgment [Doc. 21] and Motion to Seal [Doc. 23] filed by the Defendants
Burke County Public Schools Board of Education and Linda Bradshaw.
The Defendants’ Motions fail to comply with the requirement set forth
in the Pretrial Order and Case Management Plan which requires that
motions and briefs be in at least 14 point type.

[Doc. 8 at 5].

The

Defendants also failed to include a supporting brief with their Motion to
Seal, in violation of Local Civil Rule 7.1(C). Additionally, the Defendants
have failed to include: (1) a statement as to why there are no alternatives to
filing under seal; (2) a statement as to the period of time the party seeks to

have the material maintained under seal and as to how the matter is to be
handled upon unsealing; and (3) any supporting statutes, case law or other
authority. See LCvR 6.1(C). Further, the Defendants have not submitted
the documents that they seek to have filed under seal to the Court, either
for in camera review or under seal as part of the record. See LCvR 6.1(D).
For all of these reasons, the Defendants’ Motions are denied without
prejudice.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Motion for Summary
Judgment [Doc. 21] and Motion to Seal [Doc. 23] filed by the Defendants
Burke County Public Schools Board of Education and Linda Bradshaw are
DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE due to their failure to comply with the
Local Rules and the requirements of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
