ORDER
GEORGE FOLEY, Jr., Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Keith Gregory's Motion to Seal Supplement to his Motion to Sever (#347), filed on September 16, 2014. Defendant represented in his motion that counsel for the Government stated to him that "the instant Motion to Seal documents is appropriate." Because the documents sought to be sealed are attached to Defendant's motion, the Court temporarily sealed them until it could further consider this request. The Government has since filed its Response to Defendant Gregory's Motion (#349) stating that it does not agree that sealing of the documents is appropriate, and furthermore that Defendant have offered no grounds for sealing the documents. The Court agrees. Based on the public's presumed right of access to court proceedings and documents under the First Amendment, United States v. Guerrero, 693 F.3d 999, 1000 (9th Cir. 2012), and Defendant's failure to provide any grounds for sealing the documents,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Keith Gregory's Motion to Seal Supplement to his Motion to Sever (#347) is denied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Exhibit A to the Motion to Seal Supplement to his Motion to Sever (#347) is hereby unsealed.
