IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM ROUSER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-93-0767 LKK GGH P

vs.

THEO WHITE, et al.,

Defendants. O R D E R

 /

On February 2, 2010, defendants filed a motion to file

documents under seal for their opposition to plaintiff’s motion

for a preliminary injunction, Doc. No. 465. This opposition is

due on February 4, 2010. Defendants seek to file under seal

excerpts of plaintiff’s prison file. Defendants also seek to

prevent plaintiff or plaintiff’s counsel from viewing these

excerpts for reasons of institutional safety. Specifically,

defendants argue that in camera review of these sections of

plaintiff’s prison file is necessary to protect the identity of

inmate informants. Because defendant’s opposition is due

tomorrow, the court tentatively grants defendant’s motion to file
