ORDER
MIRANDA M. DU, District Judge.
This counseled habeas petition comes before the Court on Petitioner's motion for leave to file Exhibits 4 and 5 under seal (ECF No. 40). Exhibit 4 consists of Petitioner's medical records and Exhibit 5 is his presentence investigation report, both of which contain confidential information. In accordance with the requirements of Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006), the Court finds that a compelling need to protect the privacy and/or personal identifying information of Petitioner in the sealed exhibits outweighs the public interest in open access to court records. The motion for leave to file Exhibits 4 and 5 under seal (ECF No. 40) is therefore granted, and Exhibits 4 and 5 are considered properly filed under seal.
