-2- Case No. 2:24-cv-02770-TLN-CSK

ORDER RE DEFENDANTS’ REQUEST TO SEAL 

ORDER 

Having considered Defendants’ Request to Seal Documents, the Court ORDERS as follows: 

1. Defendants’ request to seal the unredacted copy of Exhibit F to the Declaration of 

Nicholas R. Sidney is GRANTED because there is little, if any, interest in public disclosure of the 

identifies of non-party student witnesses in a dating violence investigation, and there is a 

compelling public interest in preserving the confidentiality of student witnesses. 

2. Within 30 days of this Order, Plaintiff shall file a noticed motion for leave to 

proceed anonymously and to show good cause why his name should be redacted from Exhibits E 

and F to the Declaration of Nicholas R. Sidney. Defendants may respond and Plaintiff may file an 

optional reply consistent with the Local Rules. 

3. Within five days after the Court rules on Plaintiff’s motion or, in the event that 

Plaintiff does not file a timely motion, within 35 days after the date of this Order, Defendants shall 

file public, redacted copies of Exhibits E and/or F that redact the names of the student witnesses 

and, if ordered by the Court, Plaintiff’s name. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
