May 31, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ELECTRONIC ORDER: This case was removed from state court on April 4, 2022. Plaintiff's counsel, Mark H. Selz, is not admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The only attorney contact information for Mr. Selz came from documents filed with Defendant's Notice of Removal. However, the two addresses listed for Mr. Selz are apparently not valid because the orders of this Court have been returned as undeliverable. See Doc. Nos. 9, 10 & 13. The Court located an email address for Mr. Selz in the removal documents and will attempt service of this Order one more time before dismissing this case. Within 21 days from the date of this Order,, counsel for Plaintiff must either become admitted to practice in this District (see LR 83.7), or move the Court to be admitted Pro Hac Vice (see LR 83.9(b)).

April 11, 2022 Filing 8 Appendix in Support filed by Aetna Healthcare Inc re #4 Supplemental Document, #3 Order, 7 Order, Removal (Attachments: #1 Exhibit(s)) (Herman, Jonathan)
April 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ELECTRONIC ORDER: granting in part and denying in part #5 Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Leave to File the Appendix Under Seal. The Court grants Defendant leave to file page numbers 102-121 of the Appendix under seal as these records contain sensitive personal and medical information of the non-party insured. However, the Court denies Defendant leave to file pages 1-101 of the Appendix under seal. These pages contain the alleged ERISA Plan at issue, but do not appear to contain any information justifying they be kept under seal. "Judicial records... are public, not private, documents." Binh Hoa Le v. Exeter Fin. Corp., 990 F.3d 410, 417 (5th Cir. 2021). Mindful of the public's right to access judicial records, the Fifth Circuit "heavily disfavor[s] sealing information placed in the judicial record." June Med. Servs., L.L.C. v. Phillips, 22 F.4th 512, 519-20 (5th Cir. 2022). The Court finds there is no good cause for sealing pages 1-101 of Defendant's Appendix. Defendant shall file the unsealed portion of the appendix as a public document within 3 days from this order. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 4/11/2022) (chmb)
