ORDER
MIRANDA M. DU, District Judge.
Before the Court is Respondents' Motion for Leave to File Exhibit Under Seal (ECF No. 28).1 No response was filed and the deadline for doing so has expired. For the reasons discussed below, Respondents' motion is denied without prejudice.
Respondents seek leave to file one document under seal: Petitioner's Presentence Investigation Report (PSI) dated August 9, 2011, Exhibit 6 to the Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 25). The Court denies the motion without prejudice because the exhibit containing the PSI was not submitted for review. The Court cannot analyze the relevant factors without reviewing the documents.
When requesting leave to file under seal, first, a party must file its underlying brief or motion. Second, the party files its motion to seal on the public docket without the confidential documents and "links" this motion to seal in CM/ECF to the underlying motion. See LR IC 2-2(d).2 For example, if a party asks to seal exhibits pertaining to a motion to dismiss, the party would link the motion to seal in CM/ECF to the motion to dismiss it previously filed. Third, the party files the confidential documents under seal in CM/ECF as "Sealed Exhibit(s)" and links the sealed exhibit(s) to its motion to seal.
Counsel are responsible for informing themselves and instructing their staff regarding the correct procedures for filing under seal. The parties are encouraged to contact the CM/ECF Help Desk at (702) 464-5555 prior to filing should they have any technical questions. For additional direction, the parties may also refer to the updated procedures in CM/ECF Version 4.0 Enhancements and Changes, which is available on the Court's website.
It is therefore ordered that Respondents' Motion for Leave to File Exhibit Under Seal (ECF No. 28) is denied without prejudice.
