DEFENDANT COMPASS BANK'S REQUEST TO SEAL DOCUMENTS; ORDER [Local Rule 141]

JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

Compass Bank ("Defendant") hereby submits this Request to Seal Documents pursuant to Local Rule 141, and specifically requests that the Court order Document 52 in this Action ("Defendant Compass Bank's Expert Witness Disclosure [FRCP 26(a)(2)]) be sealed in its entirety. Defendant's request is made on the grounds that Document 52 includes two references to Gloria Valerio's ("Plaintiff") date of birth, which references should have been redacted pursuant to Local Rule 140 prior to Defendant's filing of Document 52 (see Document 52, PDF page numbers 8 and 20). Defendant requests that the document remain sealed throughout the life of the case and indefinitely beyond that, such that Plaintiff's date of birth not be made available to the public through Document 52. Those authorized to access Document 52 shall be limited to the parties, the parties' counsel of record, and the Court.

Those authorized to access Document 52 shall be limited to the parties, the parties' counsel of record, and the Court. This seal shall remain in place unless and until the Court orders Document 52 to be unsealed pursuant to Local Rule 141(f). This Order shall be filed in the publicly available case file for this action.
