On Appeal from the 133rd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2022-62317
Panel Consists of Justices Jewell, Zimmerer, and Hassan.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant, proceeding pro se, has filed a motion for leave to file documents filed in the trial court under seal in this court or, alternatively, to file previously public redacted versions. This court requested a response from appellee. Appellee stated he was unopposed to allowing leave for appellant to file the previously sealed documents titled" Cooper_002235 - Cooper_010264" under seal in this court.
Appellant elected to file an appendix in lieu of clerk's record in this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5a. Appellant's appendix contains an order permanently sealing documents titled "Cooper_002235 - Cooper_010264 which can be located at Harris County Image Nos. 110876166, 110881434, 110881435, and 110881437." See Tex. R. Civ. P. 76a. Accordingly, we grant the portion of appellant's motion requesting leave to file the previously sealed documents titled "Cooper_002235 - Cooper_010264" under seal in this court in the form of a sealed supplemental appendix in lieu of a clerk's record within 10 days from the date of this order. The clerk of this court is ordered to accept and file under seal the aforementioned sealed supplemental appendix in lieu of a clerk's record.
It is further ordered that this court, our staff, counsel, and appellant, proceeding pro se, are allowed access to the sealed appendix. All other relief requested in appellant's motion is denied.
