PRENTICE MARSHALL, Petitioner, v. CALVIN JOHNSON, et al., Respondents.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXHIBIT UNDER SEAL
[ECF NO. 53]
ANDREW P. GORDON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is the Respondents' motion for leave to file document under seal. ECF No. 53. The Respondents seek leave to file one document under seal: Petitioner's Presentence Investigation Report (“PSI”), dated July 26, 2015. ECF Nos. 53, 54-1. Under Nevada law, the PSI is “confidential and must not be made a part of any public record.” NRS § 176.156(5). Having reviewed and considered the matter in accordance with Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006), and its progeny, I find that a compelling need to protect the Petitioner's safety, privacy, and/or personal identifying information outweighs the public interest in open access to court records.
I THEREFORE ORDER that the motion to seal (ECF No. 53) is granted. Exhibit 280 (ECF No. 54-1) is considered properly filed under seal.
