MARIE ENCAR ARNOLD DANTES,

Plaintiff,

v.

KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITALS,

Defendant.

Case No.16-cv-00934 NC

ORDER TO UNSEAL CASE 

DOCKET; ORDER SEALING

COMPLAINT UNTIL FURTHER

COURT ORDER

A sealing order may issue only upon a request that establishes that the document, or 

portions thereof, are privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to 

protection under the law. L.R. 79-5(d). The request must be narrowly tailored to seek 

sealing only of sealable material. Id.

Here, Dantes represents herself, and filed her complaint by paper copy to the clerk 

of Court. The complaint contains significant personal information, including doctor’s 

notes and records. Accordingly, the case was placed under seal, and as a result, the 

defendant is not able to access the case docket. The Court ORDERS the clerk to UNSEAL 

the case, but seal only the complaint, dkt. no. 1, until April 22, 2016.

The complaint will become public thereafter, unless Dantes files an administrative 

motion to seal portions of the complaint or attached exhibits. Guidance for making such a 

motion can be found in Local Rule 79-5, available on the Court’s website.

For additional guidance, the Federal Pro Se Program at the San Jose Courthouse
