   Minute Order Order on Motion to Seal

   MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 8/3/2026.

   Before the Court is Plaintiff's (Unopposed) 32 Motion to Seal, which requests that this Court enter an order sealing a portion of the exhibits filed in support of Plaintiff's 30 Motion to Vacate Arbitration Award (the exhibits Plaintiff seeks to seal are filed in ECF No. 31 ). Upon review, the Court finds these exhibits contain Plaintiff's medical records and information.

   In the Ninth Circuit, there is a strong presumption that the public has a right to inspect and copy judicial records. See Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006). Consequently, a party seeking to seal a judicial record bears the burden of overcoming this strong presumption. See id. In the case of dispositive motions, the party seeking to seal the record must articulate compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings that outweigh the general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure, such as the public interest in understanding the judicial process. See id. at 1178-79. Medical privacy is a "compelling reason" that has consistently justified sealing a record in this Circuit. See, e.g., Gary v. Unum Life Ins. Co. of Am., No. 3:17-cv-01414-HZ, 2018 WL 1811470, at *3 (D. Or. Apr. 17, 2018) (collecting cases); Borenstein v. Animal Found., No. 2:19-CV-00985-CDS-NJK, 2024 WL 4884427, at *1 (D. Nev. Nov. 22, 2024); San Ramon Regional Med. Ctr., Inc. v. Principal Life Ins. Co., No. C-10-02258-SBA, 2011 WL89931, at *1 n.1 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 10, 2011). District courts in the Ninth Circuit have repeatedly found that a party's interest in maintaining the privacy of sensitive health information outweighs the public's interest in accessing those medical records. See, e.g., Steven City Broomfield v. Aranas, No. 3:17-CV-00683-MMD-WGC, 2020 WL 2549945, at *2 (D. Nev. May 19, 2020).

   Here, this Court similarly finds that the information and records contained in Plaintiff's exhibits contain sensitive, private information. Plaintiff's privacy interest thus outweighs the public's interest in accessing those exhibits.

   THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED 32 Motion to Seal is GRANTED.
