UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WILBUR ATCHERLEY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

J. HANNA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-0576 KJM AC P 

ORDER 

 Pending before this court is defendants’ request to seal documents relevant to the parties’ 

pending discovery dispute. See ECF No. 112. Although defendants served plaintiff with their 

Notice of Request to Seal Documents, see id. at 3, they did not comply with the requirement of 

the Local Rules to also serve plaintiff with copies of their Request to Seal Documents and 

Proposed Order. See L.R. 141(b)(¶4). The court’s review of these documents indicates that they 

contain no confidential matter precluding their service on plaintiff. Therefore, defendants will be 

required to serve these matters. 

 In addition, defendants will be required to submit to the court, via email, a new PDF copy 

of the documents they request to be sealed, containing only the designated confidential 

documents, and excluding the Request to Seal Documents. Further, as required by the Local 

Rules, “[t]he documents for which sealing is requested shall be paginated consecutively so that 

they may be identified without reference to their content, and the total number of submitted pages

shall be stated in [in this case, added to] the request.” See L.R. 141(b)(¶5). 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Within fourteen days after the filing date of this order, defendants shall: 

 a. Submit via e-mail to the court a new PDF copy of defendants’ proposed 

confidential documents, paginated consecutively, and excluding defendants’ Request to Seal 

Documents, as explained above; and 

 b. Submit via e-mail to the court, and serve plaintiff with, an Amended Request to 

Seal Documents (amended to identify the total number of pages for which sealing is requested); 

defendants shall also serve plaintiff with defendants’ Proposed Order. 

 2. Plaintiff need not respond to defendants’ Request to Seal; the court will make its 

determination based on defendants’ request and the content of the documents sought to be sealed. 

 SO ORDERED. 

DATED: November 18, 2015
