UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

PIETER AREND FOLKENS, dba A 

HIGHER PORPOISE DESIGN GROUP,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

WYLAND (NFN), aka ROBERT 

THOMAS WYLAND, an individual;

WYLAND WORLDWIDE, LLC, a 

California Corporation; 

WYLAND GALLERIES, INC, a 

California Corporation; 

SIGNATURE GALLERY GROUP, 

INC., a Nevada Corporation, 

dba WYLAND GALLERIES; 

and DOES 1 through 50, 

inclusive; 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-02197-GEB-CKD 

ORDER 

On October 7, 2015, Plaintiff submitted for in camera 

consideration multiple documents concerning a “Motion to File 

Document Under Seal, to Unseal Document[,] and to Determine 

Whether Defendants Will Seek a Protective Order.” However, no 

Notice of Request to Seal was filed on the public docket as 

generally required by Local Rule 141, nor did Plaintiff show why 

it should be excused from complying with that requirement. See 

E.D. Cal. R. 141(b) (“Except in pre-indictment criminal 

investigations in which sealing is sought, the ‘Notice of Request 

to Seal Documents’ shall be filed . . . .”).

Therefore, Plaintiff’s sealing motion is not 

considered, and the documents emailed to chambers for in camera 

consideration are treated as having been returned to Plaintiff. 

Cf. E.D. Cal. R. 141(e)(1) (“If a [sealing r]equest is denied in 

full or in part, the Clerk will return to the submitting party 

the documents for which sealing has been denied.”). 

Dated: October 28, 2015
