IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IRWIN DOUGLAS,

No. CIV S-09-1038 FCD EFB PS

Plaintiff,

vs.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, et al., 

ORDER

Defendants.

___________________________/

This case is before the undersigned pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule

302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On July 30, 2010, defendants filed a “Notice of Request

to Seal Documents” pursuant to Local Rule 141, seeking to file under seal a motion for summary

judgment or, in the alternative, summary adjudication, and the documents in support thereof. 

Dckt. No. 38. However, because defendants’ request to seal did not indicate why a redacted

version of the motion could not be filed, on August 5, 2010, the undersigned issued an order

directing defendants to file a redacted version of their motion for summary judgment on the

publicly available docket not later than August 12, 2010. Dckt. No. 39. Defendants filed a

redacted motion for summary judgment on August 6, 2010. Dckt. No. 40. Plaintiff has not filed

any opposition to defendants’ request to seal, as authorized by Local Rule 141(c).

Upon review of both the redacted and unredacted versions of defendants’ motion for

summary judgment, the undersigned finds that the unredacted version should be filed under seal

because it contains personal, private information relating to plaintiff, including information

pertaining to the criminal records that were previously sealed by the Superior Court for the

County of Sacramento. Accordingly, defendants’ request to seal, Dckt. No. 38, is granted, and

the Clerk of Court is directed to file under seal the unredacted version of defendants’ summary

judgment motion and all documents in support thereof (including defendants’ statement of

undisputed material facts; the declaration of Terry Wilson, along with Exhibits A through F; the

declaration of John R. Whitefleet, along with Exhibits G through J; the declaration of Robert

Falk; the declaration of Robert Williams; and the declaration of Michael Ziegler). The

documents shall remain sealed until otherwise ordered. 

SO ORDERED. 

DATED: August 10, 2010.
