ORDER

ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.

Pending before this court is defendants' request to seal documents relevant to the parties' pending discovery dispute. See ECF No. 112. Although defendants served plaintiff with their Notice of Request to Seal Documents, see id. at 3, they did not comply with the requirement of the Local Rules to also serve plaintiff with copies of their Request to Seal Documents and Proposed Order. See L.R. 141(b)(¶4). The court's review of these documents indicates that they contain no confidential matter precluding their service on plaintiff. Therefore, defendants will be required to serve these matters.

In addition, defendants will be required to submit to the court, via email, a new PDF copy of the documents they request to be sealed, containing only the designated confidential documents, and excluding the Request to Seal Documents. Further, as required by the Local Rules, "[t]he documents for which sealing is requested shall be paginated consecutively so that they may be identified without reference to their content, and the total number of submitted pages shall be stated in [in this case, added to] the request." See L.R. 141(b)(¶5).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within fourteen days after the filing date of this order, defendants shall:

a. Submit via e-mail to the court a new PDF copy of defendants' proposed confidential documents, paginated consecutively, and excluding defendants' Request to Seal Documents, as explained above; and

b. Submit via e-mail to the court, and serve plaintiff with, an Amended Request to Seal Documents (amended to identify the total number of pages for which sealing is requested); defendants shall also serve plaintiff with defendants' Proposed Order.

2. Plaintiff need not respond to defendants' Request to Seal; the court will make its determination based on defendants' request and the content of the documents sought to be sealed.

SO ORDERED.
