The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:

17

This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On March 5, 2024, Plaintiff filed a

18

motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, to which he attached several documents,

19

including a proposed complaint. (See Dkt. No. 1.) On March 12, 2024, Plaintiff filed a

20

complaint. (See Dkt. No. 5.) Each of these documents was filed under seal. But in order for

21

documents to remain under seal, a party must so move.

22

Accordingly, Plaintiff is DIRECTED to file a motion to seal by Friday, March 29, 2024,

23

where he explains why the documents (Dkt. Nos. 1, 5) should remain under seal. If he fails to do

24

so by this date, the documents will be unsealed. See Local Civil Rule 5(g).
