ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on a filing (document #19) from pro se Plaintiff in
which she seeks “to proceed exparte [sic] and under seal.”
Plaintiff cites no applicable authority in support of her request. Moreover, the Court is not
aware of any case law, statute, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, or Local Rule allowing her to
proceed ex parte nor is sealing of this case warranted.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1. Plaintiff’s Motion (document #19) is DENIED.
2. The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff at 1001 East
W.T. Harris Boulevard, Suite P104, Charlotte, North Carolina 28262, to defense counsel, and to
the Honorable Robert J. Conrad, Jr.
SO ORDERED.
Signed: January 24, 2017
