Attorneys for Petitioners-Plaintiffs *Admitted Pro Hac Vice Pursuant to the Court’s Order granting the Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction (ECF 35), the Court has directed that members of the provisionally certified class submit individual applications for release from immigration detention on bail and that Defendants respond to such applications. In order to properly consider each application, the Court is requiring the applicant to submit information that includes sensitive and highly personal information and Defendants may also submit such information in response. Such sensitive information includes (1) particularly sensitive personal medical information;(2) the address and telephone number(s) of persons who are proposed as custodians of an applicant in the event of the applicant’s release; (3) juvenile criminal information; and (4) other personally identifiable information as set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a) of the applicant and of third parties. As to this information, the Court finds that there is good cause to protect the information from being released to the public to protect the applicants from “annoyance, embarrassment [or] oppression ….” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1); Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665 (9th Cir. 2010); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(a). Moreover, the Court finds that it is in the interests of efficiency and conservation of the resources of the parties and the Court to permit Plaintiffs and Defendants to file these applications and responses under seal without the necessity of filing an administrative motion pursuant to Civ. L. R. 79-5(d)(1) to accompany each such application. [PROPOSED] ORDER Accordingly, for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 1. Plaintiffs may file bail applications on behalf of individual class members under seal to protect from public disclosure the material described in the following paragraph of this Order, without the necessity of filing an individualized motion to seal pursuant to Civ. L. R. 79-5(d)(1)(A) in support of each bail application. 2. Defendants may file responses to bail applications of individual class members under seal to protect from public disclosure the material described in the following paragraph of this Order, without the necessity of filing an individualized motion to seal pursuant to Civ. L. R. 79-5(d)(1)(A) in support of each bail application. 3. The following categories of information are sealable material within the meaning of Civ. L. R. 79-5(d)(1)(A): a. Any particularly sensitive medical information concerning the applicant; b. The addresses and telephone numbers of persons who are proposed as custodians of an applicant in the event of the applicant’s release; c. Juvenile criminal information; and d. Other personally identifiable information as set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a) of the applicant and of third parties. IT IS SO ORDERED. .
