ORDER

This matter is before the Court upon the Consent Motion to File Document Under
Seal (Doc. 55) which requests the sealing of Plaintiff’s Fourth Motion for an Extension of
Time to Respond to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 54).
The Court has considered the Motion to Seal, the public’s interest in access to the
subject materials, and alternatives to sealing. The Court determines that sealing is
necessary in this case, and that less restrictive means of handling the information are not
sufficient, as a substantial part of the subject filing references the confidential medical
information of Plaintiff’s counsel. The sealing ordered herein shall be permanent, subject
to further Order of the Court.

Accordingly, the Consent Motion to File Document Under Seal (Doc. 55) is
GRANTED, and document number 54 shall be SEALED and remain sealed until further
Order of the Court.
Signed: July 2, 2019
