IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAMUEL B JOHNSON III,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CHEVRON CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-05756 SI

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO

FILE COMPLAINT UNDER SEAL

Plaintiff has moved to file a complete version of his complaint under seal. The Court previously

indicated that this would be inappropriate because the entire basis for plaintiff’s disability claim would

be inaccessible to the public, and now finds that plaintiff has not demonstrated good cause to file his

complaint under seal. Accordingly, the motion to file under seal is DENIED [Docket No. 119] and

plaintiff may pursue one of two options. He may either publicly file a complete version of his

complaint, or may consider voluntarily dismissing his case and refiling it as an anonymous “Doe”

plaintiff. If plaintiff intends to file a complete version of his complaint publicly, he must do so on or

before September 19, 2008. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 3, 2008 SUSAN ILLSTON
