UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JANE ROE TT 80, et al.,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOE 1, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:25-cv-00007-KES-CDB

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S 

STIPULATED REQUEST TO SEAL 

DOCUMENTS

(Doc. 2)

5-DAY DEADLINE

Pending before the Court is the stipulated request to seal documents by Defendant Doe 1

(Doc. 2), filed on January 2, 2025, and emailed to the undersigned’s chambers on January 7, 

2025. The documents to be sealed are described as the unredacted versions of (1) the declaration 

of Adam Dawson in support of Defendant’s notice of removal (Doc. 1-18), and (2) exhibits A 

and B attached thereto (Docs. 1-19, 1-20). (Doc. 2 at 6).

The Court has considered the factors set forth in Oregonian Publ’g Co. v. U.S. Dist. Court 

for Dist. of Or., 920 F.2d 1462 (9th Cir. 1990). The Court finds that, for the reasons stated in 

Defendant’s notice and request, sealing the documents serves a compelling interest. The Court 

further finds that, in the absence of closure, the compelling interests identified by Defendant 

would be harmed. Given that redacted versions of the documents are available to the public (see

Docs. 1-18, 1-19, 1-20) and Plaintiff stipulates to the request (Doc. 2-3), the Court further finds

that there are no additional alternatives to sealing the documents that would adequately protect 

the compelling interests identified by Defendant.

Conclusion and Order

Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 141 and based upon the representations contained in 

Defendant’s notice and request, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the unredacted declaration of 

Adam Dawson, and accompanying exhibits A and B, lodged with the undersigned in connection 

with Defendant’s notice and request to seal filed on January 2, 2025 (Doc. 2), shall be SEALED 

until further order of this Court.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that within five (5) days of the date of this Order, Defendant 

shall submit a copy of this Order, the request for sealing, and the documents to be sealed (the 

unredacted declaration of Adam Dawson and exhibits A and B attached thereto) by email to the 

Operations Section of the Clerk of the Court: 

ApprovedSealed@caed.uscourts.gov

IT IS SO ORDERED.
