Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-01023-WDM-PAC.
September 19, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before me on the defendants' response to my August 31, 2007 order for the defendants to provide information regarding their procedures and steps taken concerning the name check related to plaintiff's naturalization application. As defendants readily acknowledge, they failed to fully comply with my order because the redacted copies do not disclose the results of the name check process. Defendants volunteer to submit unredacted copies for in camera and ex parte review.
I construe defendants' response to be a request to file the documents required by my order under seal, pursuant to D.C.COLO.L.CivR 7.2. In deference to the expressed concern to protect law enforcement sensitive materials it is ordered as follows:
1. Clerk of this Court shall post notice of defendants' request to seal the filing in accordance with D.C.COLO.L.CivR 7.2 D.
2. Defendants shall file, on or before September 28, 2007, duly authenticated copies of the unredacted documents containing the results of the name check process.
3. Defendants may file these documents ex parte under seal pursuant to D.C.COLO.L.CivR 7.3. for my in camera review.
