IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
ARTURO MADRID, Defendant.
CASE NO. 1:23-CR-00102-TLN
ORDER SEALING DOCUMENTS AS SET FORTH
IN GOVERNMENT’S NOTICE
Pursuant to Local Rule 141(b) and based upon the representation contained in the government’s
Request to Seal, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the relevant documents and the government’s Request
to Seal shall be SEALED until further order of this Court.
It is further ordered that access to the sealed documents shall be limited to the government and
counsel for the defendant.
The Court has considered the factors set forth in Oregonian Publishing Co. v. U.S. District Court
for the District of Oregon, 920 F.2d 1462 (9th Cir. 1990). The Court finds that, for the reasons stated in
the government’s request, sealing the government’s motion serves a compelling interest. The Court
further finds that, in the absence of closure, the compelling interests identified by the government would
be harmed. In light of the public filing of its request to seal, the Court further finds that there are no
additional alternatives to sealing the government’s motion that would adequately protect the compelling
interests identified by the government.
