UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 ARMANDO TORRES, Case No. 19-cv-04752-JCS

Plaintiff,

ORDER TO FILE EXHIBITS IN THE

v. PUBLIC RECORD

MICHAEL R. POMPEO, Defendant.

Plaintiff Armando Torres filed his complaint and several attached exhibits on August 14, 2019. Because some (but not all) of the exhibits contained personal information, the Clerk provisionally sealed the exhibits as a courtesy, pending Torres’s filing of an administrative motion to maintain sensitive information under seal. Torres’s counsel thereafter filed a perfunctory motion to seal, but neither specified particular sensitive information to maintain under seal, nor provided any meaningful argument that compelling reasons warranted sealing, as is required to overcome the presumption of public access to judicial proceedings. See Admin. Mot. for Leave to E-File Under Seal (dkt. 4); Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1096–97 (9th Cir. 2016); Kamakana v. City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447…
