UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ERIC LEBRON SPRINGS,
Petitioner,
v.
FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS
ATWATER,
Respondent.
Case No. 1:24-cv-00760-SAB-HC
ORDER SEALING DOCUMENTS AS SET
FORTH IN GOVERNMENT’S NOTICE
(ECF No. 8)
ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO
COMPLY WITH LOCAL RULE 141(e)(2)(i)
WITHIN TWO DAYS FROM THE DATE
OF SERVICE OF ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Local Rule 141(b) and based upon the
representation contained in the Respondent’s Request to Seal, that the Respondent’s Appendix,
pp 95-156, in Support of Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss and Response to Petition under 28
U.S.C. § 2241 pertaining to petitioner Eric Lebron Springs, and Respondent’s Request to Seal
shall be SEALED until further order of this Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that electronic access to the sealed documents shall be
limited to the Respondent.
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 Respondent’s request, sealing the Respondent’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.
Respondent is DIRECTED to comply with Local Rule 141(e)(2)(i)1 within two days from
the date of service of this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
