ORDERREGARDING LODGED DOCUMENTS

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On September 22, 2005, Respondent filed a notice of lodging of documents. On September

23, 2005, the Court received the documents referenced in Respondent’s notice. Included in the

submission were documents in a file marked “Confidential.” Due to the form of the submission, the

to maintain the confidentiality of the document. For example, the contents may reveal information

that may jeopardize the safety of particular individuals.

In this case Respondent does not state the reasons the Court should maintain the

confidentiality of the document. Respondent has merely submitted the documents in an envelope

marked “Confidential.” The Court has reviewed the document and is unclear why Respondent

wishes the document remain confidential. Therefore, Respondent must clarify its reasons for seeking

the document be filed under seal within twenty (20) days of the date of service of this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
