ORDER

Case No. 1-16-cv-271

Before the court is a motion to file a motion under seal. (Doc. No. 25). In the current
motion, Plaintiff Joshua Peterson seeks the court’s leave to file a motion ordering Brooklyn Park,
Minnesota, to produce documents pertaining to Defendant’s use of force while employed with the
city’s police department under seal. Peterson also seeks to file various exhibits incorporated within
that motion under seal. The undersigned has reviewed the motion and incorporated documents. The
court GRANTS, in part, and DENIES, in part, the current motion. (Doc. No. 25).
There is nothing sensitive within the proposed motion warranting filing it under seal; thus,
Peterson shall file the proposed motion just as he would any other motion. To the extent the exhibits
incorporated therein contain sensitive information, Peterson shall either redact the sensitive material
or file the exhibits under seal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 27th day of November, 2017.
