Order Granting Motion to Seal [ECF Nos. 86]
JENNIFER A. DORSEY, District Judge.
On September 19, 2016, I granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion for partial summary judgment and denied their motion to seal their summary-judgment briefing and all exhibits without prejudice because defendants failed to make the required showing. Defendants have filed a new motion to seal and have significantly curtailed their request. Defendants now move to seal small portions of two exhibits, which contain descriptions of plaintiff Michelle McKenna's medical treatment. I agree with defendants that medical treatment is something that is "traditionally kept secret" and that there are no compelling reasons for the public to know this information.1 Defendants also move to seal an exhibit to their reply, which is a handwritten diary-type entry by McKenna. I also agree with defendants that this is the type of information that is traditionally kept secret without a compelling public interest in disclosure. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendants' motion to seal [ECF No. 86] is GRANTED. Defendants must file the redacted versions of these exhibits by December 17, 2016.
