, at *2 (noting that when “parents are also plaintiffs in the case .

. . use of the minor’s initials does not provide adequate protection for their identity and confidential financial information”). However, unlike other cases where there is a risk that the child “may be stigmatized and humiliated if the sensitive information in the record is made public,” Webster Groves, 898 F.2d at 1377, no similar risk presents here. Plaintiff merely seeks to redact the monetary terms of the settlement. Courts in this district have held, in relation to settlement approval hearings pursuant to § 8.01424, that when a minor continues to be referred to only by his or her initials, the child’s “identity will remain confidential . . . and revealing the dollar amounts that [the minor] is to receive will not affect [his or] her level of public exposure.”! K.S.,

, at *3. This continues even in the face of naming of a parent as a next friend, as here. Furthermore, A.P.G.’s mother’s name appeared on the face of the Complaint and every subsequent pleading, thus providing no new incentive for sealing at the settlement stage. And, unlike other cases where the extent of a minor child’s injuries have been sealed throughout the proceedings, the Complaint, (ECF No. 1-2), lays out the extent of A.P.G.’s injuries and makes a very substantial monetary demand. Therefore, the settlement amount does not “impl[y] the relative severity and expected duration,” Mears,

, at *2, of A.P.G.’s injuries as the Complaint already laid them bare. Moreover, while the public has no general right to know the potential financial windfall that A.P.G. may receive as a result of the settlement, “‘the potential for use of the information for

, at *3 (M.D.N.C. July 16, 2020) (“The sealing of the limited portion [relating to the monetary terms] of the [Settlement] Agreement will protect the privacy of the minors receiving payments, and their privacy interest outweighs the public’s interest in learning the minors’ identities and financial information.”).
