January 31, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER FILED. Lisa B. Fitzgerald, Appellate Commissioner. The motion (Docket Entry No. 8) to file under seal Volume 3 of the excerpts of record is granted because an independent review of the document demonstrates that continued sealing is warranted. Appellant is advised that the sealing of a document in the district court is not a sufficient basis for sealing it in this court. Any future motion to seal filed by counsel must explain the specific reasons for sealing in this court, describe the potential for irreparable injury absent sealing, and limit the request for sealing to the specific documents or portions of documents that merit sealing. 9th Cir. R. 27-13(e). The clerk will file publicly the motion to seal and certificate of service (Docket Entry No. 8.1 and 8.3), opening brief (Docket Entry No. 6), and Volumes 1-2 of the excerpts of record (Docket Entry No. 7). The clerk will maintain under seal Volume 3 of the excerpts of record (Docket Entry No. 11). The existing briefing schedule remains in effect. [Entered: 01/31/2025 11:27 AM]
