ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Joint Motion to Seal (Doc. 36), filed on June 16, 2015. Plaintiff requests the Court enter an order sealing the 89 exhibits that were admitted during the final hearing in this matter. Doc. 36 at 1. The exhibits are educational records of the minor, L.C., as defined under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act. Id. Plaintiff states that sealing the documents is necessary because the documents contain confidential information regarding Plaintiff's medical and psychological condition as well as educational records. Id. at 2. Plaintiff has conferred with Defendant who has no opposition to the requested relief.

The movant shall not file or otherwise tender to the Clerk any item proposed for sealing unless the Court has granted the motion required by this section.
