4 SAGE HUMPHRIES, et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01412-ART-EJY

5 Plaintiffs, ORDER 6 v.

7 MITCHELL TAYLOR BUTTON and DUSTY BUTTON, 8 Defendants. 9 10 Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion to Seal. ECF No. 463. As the party seeking 11 to seal judicial records Plaintiffs must meet their burden of overcoming the strong presumption in 12 favor of access and public policies favoring disclosure. Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 13

, 1178–79 (9th Cir. 2006) (holding that those who seek to maintain the secrecy of 14 documents attached to dispositive motions must meet the high threshold of showing that “compelling 15 reasons” support secrecy). Importantly, medical privacy meets the compelling reason standard. See, 16 e.g., San Ramon Regional Med. Ctr., Inc. v. Principal Life Ins. Co., 2011 WL89931, at *n. 1 (N.D. 17 Cal. Jan. 10, 2011); Abbey v. Hawaii Employers Mut. Ins. Co., 2010 WL4715793, at *1-2 (D.HI. 18 Nov. 15, 2010); G. v. Hawaii,

, at *1-2 (D. Haw. June 25, 2010); Wilkins v. Ahern, 19 2010 WL3755654 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 24, 2010); Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co.,

1122, 1136 (9th Cir. 2003). The Court further finds compliance with orders allowing parties to 21 proceed anonymously as well as the subject matter of the information sought to be sealed meets the 22 compelling standard required. 23 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Seal (ECF No. 463) is 24 GRANTED. 25 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the unredacted version of Plaintiffs’ Response to 26 Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 464) is and will remain sealed. 27 1 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the following exhibits are and shall remain sealed: 2 1.
