BIRD, Respondent. 16 Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to a court order, respondent provided the court with a copy of the transcript of the Marsden hearing held in state court. (ECF Nos. 18, 19.) Respondent’s counsel states that because the transcript was sealed by the state court, and appears to remain under a sealing order, he feels compelled to seek to file it in this court under seal.
