[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO FILE UNDER SEAL

2

Having considered Defendant Sierra Pacific Mortgage Company, Inc.’s 

(“Sierra”) Request to Seal Confidential Documents in Support of Defendant’s 

Opposition to Plaintiff JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s Motion for Partial 

Summary Judgment, the Court finds that there are compelling reasons to seal the 

following documents identified as “Submitted Under Seal” in Sierra’s Appendix 

of Evidence [Dkt. No. 137-2] (hereinafter the “Sealed Documents”): 

G November 12, 2015 – Deposition of Robert Kenneley (Submitted 

Under Seal) 

X February 23, 2012 – Demand Letter to Sierra Pacific (Submitted 

Under Seal) 

Y November 14, 2012 – Demand Letter to Sierra Pacific (Submitted 

Under Seal) 

Z July 6, 2012 – Demand Letter to Sierra Pacific (Submitted Under 

Seal) 

AA February 23, 2012 – Demand Letter to Sierra Pacific (Submitted 

Under Seal) 

DD December 11, 2015 – Deposition Excerpts re William Zachary 

Addison (Submitted Under Seal)

The factual and legal basis for this ruling includes the following: (a) the 

Sealed Documents are confidential and private financial documents of non-party 

borrowers that are prohibited from disclosure by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 

15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq.; (b) it is the policy of Congress as reflected by the 

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq. to protect the security and 

confidentiality of the private financial information of the non-party borrowers; 

(c) countervailing interests in protecting the Sealed Documents outweigh the 

public’s interest in access to the Sealed Documents, and there is a significant 

interest in protecting the Sealed Documents to help prevent the potential misuse 

of the Sealed Documents; (d) compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2 alone is not 

sufficient to safeguard the totality of the non-public personal financial 

information of the non-party borrowers, whose identity can be determined from

publicly available documents; (e) if the Sealed Documents were filed publicly, 

they might become a vehicle for improper purposes such as identity theft; and (f) 

it is the only effective mechanism to protect the non-public personal information 

of the non-party borrowers and prevent the Court’s file from becoming a vehicle 

for improper purposes. 

The Sealed Documents are permanently sealed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
