ORDER RE: DEFENDANT ASHLEY GORE’S APPLICATION TO FILE UNREDACTED RECORDS UNDER SEAL |
||
On March 2, 2022,
Plaintiff Brian Warner p/k/a Marilyn Manson (“Plaintiff”) filed this action
against Defendants Evan Rachel Wood and Ashley Gore a/k/a Illma Gore (“Gore”). The
Complaint asserts causes of action for (1) intentional infliction of emotional distress,
(2) defamation per se, (3) violation of the Comprehensive Computer Data and
Access Fraud Act (Penal Code Section 502(c), (e)(1)), and (4) Impersonation
over the Internet (Penal Code Section 528.5(a), (e)).
Gore now applies for an order to file under seal certain portions of an October 25, 2022 deposition
transcript of Gore. Plaintiff filed a “partial opposition” to Gore’s application.
Gore’s application will have to be continued for the reasons set forth below.
Plaintiff’s partial
opposition to Gore’s application consists of primarily redacted information. Plaintiff
has not filed a motion to seal the redacted portions of the opposition. Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule
2.551, subdivision (a), “[a] record must not be filed under seal without a
court order.” In addition, “[i]f necessary to prevent disclosure, any motion or
application, any opposition, and any supporting documents must be filed in a
public redacted version and lodged in a complete, unredacted version
conditionally under seal. The cover of the redacted version must identify it as
‘Public--Redacts materials from conditionally sealed record.’ The cover of the
unredacted version must identify it as ‘May Not Be Examined Without Court Order--Contains
material from conditionally sealed record.’” (Cal Rules of Court, Rule 2.551, subd. (b)(5).)
Plaintiff did not file any notice indicating that the unredacted version of the
partial opposition was lodged conditionally under seal.
¿¿ In light of the foregoing, the hearing on Gore’s
application to file unredacted records under seal is continued to ____________,
2023, at 10:00 a.m. in Dept. 50. Plaintiff must file and serve a motion or
application to seal his partial opposition to the application pursuant to
California Rules of Court, rule 2.550 et seq.¿
Gore is ordered to give notice of this Order.
