 On January 10, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion to re-open this case alleging that his counsel 

of record had not sent him his portion of the settlement payment pursuant to their agreement. 

ECF No. 101. The motion was entered on the docket by the Clerk of Court on January 15, 2016. 

See Docket Entry No. 101. Plaintiff’s counsel received the motion after it was entered by the 

Clerk and filed a notice of request to file a document under seal the same day. ECF No. 102. The 

request seeks to file a three-page declaration by counsel under seal because it contains

reviewed the declaration submitted by counsel and the request to file under seal will be granted. 

Counsel shall submit the declaration to be filed under seal in accordance with Local Rule 

141(e)(2)(i). Furthermore, based on counsel’s representation that plaintiff was sent a check for 

his portion of the settlement payment on January 11, 2016, and that the money will be available to 

plaintiff once the check has been processed by the prison, plaintiff’s motion to re-open the case
