TEXT ORDER: The Court is in receipt of Respondents' Motion to Seal. (ECF No. 7). Respondents seek to seal in their entirety the Petition and all attachments, (ECF No. 1), and their paragraph-by-paragraph Answer, (ECF No. 5). Although Respondents identify certain sensitive information contained in the identified filings, they have not demonstrated why sealing the entirety of each filing is necessary or why less restrictive alternatives, including targeted redactions, would be inadequate. See L. Civ. R. 5.3(c)(3). Accordingly, the Motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Respondents may file a renewed, narrowly tailored motion to seal, accompanied by proposed redacted versions of the affected filings, within seven (7) days of this Order. ECF Nos. 1 and 5 shall remain temporarily under seal pending that deadline and, if a renewed motion is filed, until further Order of the Court. So Ordered by Judge Christine P. O'Hearn on 7/21/2026. (hem, ) (Entered: 07/21/2026)
