STIPULATION TO SEAL
ANDREW P. GORDON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Jason Frierson, United States Attorney, and Joshua Brister, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Yi Lin Zheng, counsel for Maurice Williamson II, that Mr. Williamson's sentencing memorandum and its accompanying exhibits be filed under seal.
The Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. “[T]he need to protect medical privacy qualifies as a ‘compelling reason' for sealing records.” Williams v. Mark, 2019 WL 5102470, No. 3:17-cv-335-MMD-WGC (D. Nev. Oct. 11, 2019).
2. Mr. Williamson's sentencing memorandum exhibits are Mr. Willamson's medical records from his hospitalization at Sunrise Hospital.
3. Mr. Williamson's sentencing memorandum quotes liberally from these medical records.
4. Because Mr. Williamson's sentencing memorandum repeatedly highlights sensitive portions of his medical records, both the memorandum and the exhibits should be sealed.
This is the first stipulation to continue filed herein.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
