Baldwin v. Duke Energy Corporation

Filing 70

ORDER granting 69 Motion to Seal Document. Signed by Magistrate Judge David S. Cayer on 10/28/2013. (blf)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
ERNIE S. BALDWIN,

Civil Action No. 3:12-CV-212-MOC-DSC

Plaintiff,
vs.
ORDER
DUKE ENERGY CORPORATION AND
DUKE ENERGY BUSINESS SERVICES
LLC,
Defendants.

UPON CONSIDERATION of Defendants’ Motion to File Document Under Seal, and
having reviewed Defendants’ Exhibit G filed under seal and determined that the medical records
and redacted documents contain details of Plaintiff’s medical conditions, the Court concludes
that the sealing of the aforementioned personal identifier information is essential to preserve
higher values set in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2, and is narrowly tailored to serve those
interests. Therefore, the Court GRANTS the Motion and ORDERS that Defendants’ Exhibit G
be placed under seal. Consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2, the parties may make
arguments and references to Defendants’ Exhibit G.
SO ORDERED.
