`
`MOTION TO FILE EXHIBIT UNDER SEAL
`
`On September 5, 2017, Defendant Gary Solomon (“Solomon”) filed his Motion
`
`to Amend Judgment (Dkt. 152), and in support of that Motion, provided an
`
`affidavit. Pursuant to Local Rule 26.2, Solomon contemporaneously moves this
`
`Court to allow him to file his affidavit, which constitutes Exhibit A to the
`
`Motion to Amend Judgment, under seal. In support of this Motion, Solomon
`
`states as follows:
`1. On September 5, 2017, Solomon filed his Motion to Amend Judgment,
`
`specifically to request that the Court provide an explanation for its recommendation
`
`to designate Solomon to the federal facility located in Oxford, Wisconsin.
`
`2. Solomon supported his request by providing an affidavit that more fully
`
`explained the relevant details. However, that affidavit also included the private
`
`medical information of a number of third parties, who are not part of these
`
`
`
`Case: 1:15-cr-00620 Document #: 155 Filed: 09/05/17 Page 2 of 3 PageID #:4634
`
`proceedings. Those third parties and their medical information is readily identifiable
`
`in Solomon’s affidavit.
`
`3. Accordingly, to protect the privacy of those third parties, Solomon
`
`requests that this Court grant an order allowing his to file his affidavit under seal.
`
`WHEREFORE, Gary Solomon respectfully requests that this Court enter an
`
`order allowing him to file his affidavit in support of his Motion to Amend Judgment
`
`under seal, and for such other and further relief that this Court deems just.
