No. C 06-2130 JSW (PR)

ORDER REQUESTING

DEFENDANT TO FILE MOTION

UNDER RULE 79-5 WITH REGARD

TO DOCUMENTS FILED UNDER

SEAL 

Plaintiff, a prisoner of the State of California, has filed this pro se civil rights action. 

On July 5, 2007, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment and declarations and

exhibits in support thereof. Defendant also filed certain documents under seal. However, the

Court has reviewed the motion for summary judgment and the declarations and exhibits

attached thereto and it does not appear that Defendant has filed a motion to file the documents

under seal pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(b).

Documents may only be closed to inspection by the public if a sealing order has issued

finding that they are sealable. If Defendant contends that the reports concerning Plaintiff

cannot be disclosed to him or to the public, they must file a motion for protective order. If

they file such a motion, they should submit a declaration from a knowledgeable person

identifying each portion of the reports that they contend must be kept confidential and

explaining why it is sealable. If some portions of a document need to be redacted to prevent

the disclosure of confidential information, the Court wants to see the unredacted document to

determine how much material genuinely needs to be redacted. Counsel is reminded to comply

with Local Rule 79-5(b) in filing any document under seal. 

The Court will retain the copies Defendant filed under seal, pending Defendant filing a

proper motion seeking sealing. However, if Defendant needs to redact some portion of the

documents for which sealing is sought, Defendant must file another copy. Defendant shall file

the properly supported motion seeking sealing within thirty days of the date of this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
