ORDER

The court has before it plaintiff’s motion to seal, expunge or destroy all records related

to this case (doc. 53). He explains only that he wishes to put the contents of this case behind

him and out of the public record. Plaintiff’s request to seal the case records has already been

rejected by this court (doc. 51). 

There is “a strong presumption in favor of access” to information filed with a court.

Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (citing Nixon

v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 & n.7 (1978)). To overcome this presumption,

a party seeking to seal a judicial record must demonstrate “compelling reasons.” Id. Plaintiff

has failed to satisfy this heavy burden.

IT IS ORDERED DENYING plaintiff’s motion to seal, expunge or destroy all

records related to this case (doc. 53). 

DATED this 29th day of January, 2013.
