“There is a strong presumption of public access to the court’s files.” Local Rule CR
5(g)(2). For nondispositive motions, “this presumption may be overcome by a showing of
good cause.” Id. The Court has reviewed the motion, along with the remainder of the record,
and now finds good cause to GRANT the motion. The document identified by Plaintiff
24
contains information that is both proprietary in nature and has sensitive employment
25
information for a non-party to this litigation. Given the nature of the document, it is not
26
feasible to redact it.
