UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN DARNELL BRYANT,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. SHAEFER, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:11-cv-00444-AWI-SKO PC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO 

FILE LETTER UNDER SEAL

(Docs. 75-78)

On January 15, 2014, the Court received a letter via email sent by Deputy Attorney 

General Preeti Bajwa concerning Correctional Counselor Borum, a non-party witness whose incourt testimony is relevant to a pending motion to dismiss. The letter relates to Ms. Borum’s 

medical condition and it was written by a doctor with Ms. Borum’s treating facility. Although the 

Court does not seal documents sua sponte as a matter of course, see Local Rule 140(e), due to the 

extreme sensitivity of this personal information, good cause exists to order the letter sealed, 

thereby precluding access to the letter except by the Court. 

The parties are informed that based on the information disclosed in the letter, the Court 

confirms that the continuance of the evidentiary hearing, which was addressed via order filed 

January 14, 2014, was required.
