Judge: Linda S. Marks, Case: 01249144, Date: 2022-08-01 Tentative Ruling

Defendant Sanderson’s Motion to File Under Seal

First, no unredacted version of Ex. B to the Declaration of Schmidt has been lodged with the Court, so the Court cannot verify what is contained in that document.

Second, the motion is conclusory, and no real arguments have been made as to the following:

1). The overriding interest must support sealing the record: No argument. However, the document was marked as confidential.

2). The proposed sealing must be narrowly tailored: MP argues proposed sealing is narrowly tailored but does not demonstrate how.

3). No less restrictive means exist to achieve the overriding interest: No info or argument is provided.

Tentative Ruling: Motion to Seal is DENIED without prejudice. The express factual findings of CRC Rule 2.550 have not been argued, nor has the proposed document been lodged with the Court.

Moving party to give notice.
