ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Consent Motion to File Document
Under Seal (Doc. 63), which requests the sealing of Plaintiff’s Exhibits 26A,
26B, 26C, and 26D. (Doc. 60).
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 the subject filings
reference confidential medical information and personnel records. The sealing
ordered herein shall be permanent, subject to further Order of the Court.

Accordingly, the Consent Motion to File Document Under Seal (Doc. 63)
is GRANTED, and (Doc. 60) including Plaintiff’s Exhibits, 26A, 26B, 26C, and
26D, shall be SEALED and remain sealed until further Order of the Court.

Signed: July 23, 2019
