ATLAS (TYSON) ON CLEMENCY
Motion to file document under seal granted
The Governor's “Motion to Seal Clemency Record” is granted. The Clerk of this court is directed to file under seal the unredacted version of the Commutation File of Tyson Atlas, lodged conditionally under seal in this court on April 17, 2023, and to file the redacted / public version of the Commutation File of Tyson Atlas, as received by the court on that date. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.46.)
The court hereby finds that on the facts of this case overriding interests exist that overcome the right of public access to these records, to wit, interests as set forth in this court's Administrative Order 2021-05-26; these overriding interests support sealing the records; a substantial probability exists that the overriding interests will be prejudiced if the records are not sealed; the proposed sealing is narrowly tailored; and no less restrictive means exist to achieve the overriding interests. (Cal. Rules of Court, rules 2.550(d)-(e), 8.46(d)(6).) The Clerk shall make the redacted / public version of the record available for public inspection upon request.
