Defendants.

Civil Action No. 2:14-cv-02789-TLN-EFB

ORDER FOR PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST TO 

SEAL EXHIBITS TO VERIFIED 

COMPLAINT FOR:

1. Breach of ERISA Plan (ERISA 502(a)(1)(B) 

and 502(a)(3); and

2. Attorney Fees & Costs

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

Plaintiff Walter Sim’s Request to Seal Exhibits came before the Honorable Troy L. 

Nunley. After full consideration of the request, memoranda of points and authorities, the 

Exhibits as submitted, and review of the relevant portions of the policy and administrative 

record, this Court orders as follows:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff Walter Sim’s Request is GRANTED. The 

evidence supports that the medical records fail to be instructive as to the judicial process and that 

access to the information by the general public will only further exacerbate the shame and 

hardship suffered by Plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
