UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. AMERIKA MOBLEY, Defendant.
ORDER SEALING DOCUMENTS AS SET FORTH IN GOVERNMENT'S NOTICE
THE HONORABLE JOHN A. MENDEZ UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
PHILLIP A. TALBERT Acting United States Attorney CAMERON L. DESMOND Assistant United States Attorney 501 I Street, Suite 10-100 Sacramento, CA 95814 Telephone: (916) 554-2700 Facsimile: (916) 554-2900 Attorneys for Plaintiff United States of America Pursuant to Local Rule 141(b) and based upon the representation contained in the Government's Request to Seal, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Government's three-page motion and Request to Seal shall be SEALED until further order of this Court. It is further ordered that access to the sealed documents shall be limited to the Government and counsel for the parties.
The Court has considered the factors set forth in Oregonian Publishing Co. v. U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, 920 F.2d 1462 (9th Cir. 1990). The Court finds that, for the reasons stated in the Government's request, sealing the Government's motion serves a compelling interest. The Court further finds that, in the absence of closure, the compelling interests identified by the Government would be harmed. In light of the public filing of its request to seal, the Court further finds that there are no additional alternatives to sealing the Government's motion pursuant to U.S.S.G § 5K1.1 that would adequately protect the compelling interests identified by the Government.
