Petitioner,

v.

D.G. ADAMS, Warden

Respondent.

1:08-cv-00646 AWI DLB HC

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

REQUEST TO FILE EXHIBIT “T” UNDER

SEAL

[Doc. 3]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant federal petition for writ of habeas corpus on May 7, 2008,

along with a motion to file Exhibit “T” under seal. Local Rule 39-141(a) allows the Court to seal

documents only upon written order of the Court. Generally, the content of such documents are of

a nature that require the Court to maintain the confidentiality of the document. Petitioner states

that there is confidential information contained in the exhibit which may potentially subject him

to retaliation and jeopardize the safety of himself and other individuals. Based on the showing of

good cause, Petitioner’s motion to file Exhibit “T” under seal is GRANTED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
