TIM GARRETT, et ai., 10 Respondents. 11 12 Before the Court is Respondents’ Motion to Seal Documents. (ECF No. 39 13 || (“Motion”).) Respondents seek leave to file the following three exhibits under seal: 14 || Cotton’s presentence investigation report, various victim impact statements, and a 15 || sentencing memorandum.

17 || (9th Cir. 2006) and its progeny, the Court finds that a compelling need to protect 18 || individuals’ safety, privacy, and/or personal identifying information outweighs the public 19 || interest in open access to court records. 20 It is therefore ordered that the Motion (ECF No. 39) is granted. Exhibits 49, 50, and 21 || 57 (ECF Nos. 40-1, 40-2, 40-3) are considered properly filed under seal. 22 DATED THIS 28" Day of October 2025.
