Opinion
Case 07-2217-JAR.
October 15, 2007
ORDER
This matter comes before the court upon plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal (Doc. 30). Plaintiff's Motion for Leave sought to file only Exhibit 32-40 (Doc. 31) to its Motion to Compel (Doc. 32) under seal. However, plaintiff inadvertently filed its Motion to Compel and Exhibits 1-31 in support under seal as attachments to the instant motion. The Clerk's Office remedied the problem and filed plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. 32) as of the date of plaintiff's original filing, or October 10, 2007. However, because plaintiff's Motion to Compel was attached as an Exhibit to plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal, defendants were unable to view plaintiff's Motion to Compel until October 12, 2007, the date the Clerk's Office separately docketed the Motion to Compel (Doc. 32).
As to the instant motion, the court has contacted defendants who do not oppose the relief requested.
Standard Order 07-03 provides in part:
This order is located on the District's website.
If the motion for leave to file under seal is granted, the assigned judge will enter electronically an order authorizing the filing of the document(s) under seal.

The filing party shall then file its document(s) electronically under seal.
Accordingly, and for good cause shown,IT IS ORDERED plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal (Doc. 30). is granted. The Clerk of the Court shall accept such exhibits for filing with the Court under seal electronically to plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. 32). The court directs the Clerk's office to grant to all attorneys who have entered an appearance in this case the ability to view sealed documents in this case. Upon issuance of this order, plaintiff is directed to file its exhibits under seal electronically.
Pursuant to Standard Order 07-03.
