ORDER
ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. On May 11, 2018, plaintiff filed a declaration stating that he has not been receiving his mail. ECF No. 11. In the declaration, plaintiff referenced two unrelated matters he has recently settled in this court.1 See id. at 2. A copy of the settlement agreement of those matters accompanies the declaration.
The settlement agreement does not appear to relate to this case, nor does plaintiff provide any information regarding its relevance. Moreover, given that settlement agreements often contain personal and/or sensitive information, the court will order the agreement sealed in this action.
Accordingly, good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The settlement agreement attached to plaintiff's May 11, 2018 declaration (see ECF No. 11) be filed under seal, and
2. Access to the sealed document by nonparties to the agreement be prohibited. See Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 5.2(d), (e)(2).
