STARODOUBTSEV v. MUKASEY

United States District Court, W.D. Washington, at Seattle.
Feb 1, 2008

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO SEAL

RICARDO MARTINEZ, Magistrate Judge

This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff's Motion to Seal Summary Judgment Motion. (Dkt. #26). On January 3, 2008, the Court dismissed this writ of mandamus action because plaintiff Natalia Vinokhodova's ("plaintiff") I-485 Application to Adjust Status was approved. Plaintiff now moves to seal a previously filed summary judgment motion in order to protect sensitive information, and in lieu of filing a redacted summary judgment motion.

Plaintiff Pavel Starodoubtsev's I-485 application was approved on July 24, 2007, after the filing of the underlying lawsuit.

Having reviewed plaintiff's motion, and the remainder of the record, the Court hereby finds and ORDERS:

(1) Plaintiff's Motion to Seal Summary Judgment Motion (Dkt. #26) is GRANTED. Defendants have indicated that they do not oppose plaintiff's motion. (Dkt. #26 at 2). Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to seal plaintiff's summary judgment motion. (Dkt. #6).

(2) The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this Order to all counsel of record.
