Attorney for Maurice Williamson
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXHIBIT UNDER SEAL
ANDREW P. GORODN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Defendant Maurice Williamson, through his attorney of record, respectfully files Exhibit B, M. Williamson Medical Records to Maurice Williamson's Sentencing Memorandum under seal. Because Exhibit C contains private medical information, the defense moves to file the exhibit under seal pursuant to Local Rule IA 10-5(a).
There is good cause to seal this document to protect Mr. Williamson's medical records from being disclosed to the public. Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass'n, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th Cir. 2010) (“In light of the weaker public interest in non-dispositive materials, we apply the ‘good cause' standard when parties wish to keep them under seal.”).
Because Exhibit C contains private medical information, and personal identifying information, Mr. Williamson's privacy interest in the information outweighs the public's interest in the document's disclosure. Undersigned counsel has provided the sealed Exhibit C to the Government via electronic mail.
For the foregoing reasons, undersigned counsel respectfully requests leave to file under seal Exhibit C, M Williamson Medical Records to Maurice Williamson's Sentencing Memorandum.
IT IS SO ORDERED
Having considered Defendant's Motion herein, and for good cause presented, Defendant's Motion is GRANTED.
EXHIBIT C, consisting of Medical Records of M Williamson SHALL BE FILED AND MAINTAINED UNDER SEAL.
