UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
Alonso MARQUEZ-ARREOLA,
Defendant.
Case No.: 26-cr-0281-AGS-1
ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND
DENYING IN PART DEFENSE’S
MOTION TO SEAL EXHIBIT A
The defense moves to seal a sentencing-related criminal history query, marked
“Exhibit A,” because it “contains extensive personal identifying information.” That motion
is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. This Court finds compelling reasons to
redact such details, as “public disclosure of this information could be used for improper
purposes.” See Reflex Media, Inc. v. Doe No. 1, No. 2:18-cv-02423-RFB-BNW, 2022 WL
2985938, at *2 (D. Nev. July 28, 2022). But the defense has provided no basis for sealing
the rest of the exhibit, and none is apparent from the record.
So, by Monday, March 30, 2026, the defense must file a public version of Exhibit A
that redacts only birthdates, FBI numbers, and state ID numbers. The Clerk will SEAL
both the defense’s sealing motion and the unredacted version of Exhibit A that was
attached to that motion.
Dated: March 26, 2026
