May 17, 2023 Filing 16 MOTION to Seal by DENISE CASOLA-MARQUEZ, DIEGO MARQUEZ. (DORFMAN, JULIE)
May 11, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 TEXT ORDER: The Court has received the parties' proposed Consent Order to seal the docket of these proceedings, based on the sensitive nature of the claims asserted herein [D.E. 14]. The request to seal is denied without prejudice, as the parties have not filed proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law as required by Local Civil Rule 5.3(c)(2). Further, the parties have not shown that sealing the entire docket, presumably including all filings by the parties and Opinions/Orders of the Court, is the least restrictive means to avoid the "clearly defined and serious injury" that would otherwise result, and that less restrictive means, such as continuing to allow Plaintiff to proceed anonymously, and sealing filings on a narrower, case-by-case basis, would not adequately protect Plaintiff while still complying with the presumptive right of public access to matters before the Court. See L. Civ. R. 5.3(c)(2); Leucadia v. Applied Extrusion Techs., Inc., 998 F.2d 157, 167 (3d Cir. 1993). Any renewed application to seal shall address the foregoing issues, and include proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law.. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer on 5/11/2023.
