IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERBERT JAMES CODDINGTON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-01-1290 MCE GGH DP

vs. DEATH PENALTY CASE

VINCE CULLEN, Acting Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

This court has authorized the filing of sensitive exhibits and briefs regarding

Claim 160 to be filed under seal. However, the parties believe that the filing of documents to be

sealed pursuant to that order does not require the filing of a proposed sealing order along with the

exhibit/brief. Every document to be sealed requires the filing of a proposed order for sealing. 

While the proposed order may do no more than refer to the court’s prior order with a “pursuant

to” sentence, this formality is necessary as clerk’s office personnel will have no knowledge when

receiving a pleading that it is approved to be sealed under a prior order of this court. And, phone

conversations with court personnel do not substitute for this order.

Henceforth, although the court will order Docket 121 to be sealed pursuant to

Docket 116 (the general authorization to seal non-dispositive Claim 160 documents), the Clerk’s

Office will no longer file under seal, temporarily or otherwise, any document to be sealed related

to this claim until a proposed “order to seal” has been submitted in word processing format to

the judge’s e-mail box listed on the court’s website. Once the sealing order has been approved

and filed, the requesting party is then authorized to file electronically, at the e-mail address for

sealed documents listed on the Court’s website, an electronic copy of the documents covered by

the sealing order, in .pdf format as an attachment. See E.D. Cal. Local Rule 141.
