Order on Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal

ORDER. On 2/4/2026, Plaintiff Rickey Peoples moved for leave to file certain documents under seal, including attachment Schedule "A" to his complaint and ex parte motions for a temporary restraining order and for alternative service, together with supporting documents. ECF No. 3. On 2/6/2026, the Court granted Mr. Peoples' [3] motion for leave to file documents under seal. ECF No. 10. To date, Mr. Peoples has not filed any additional documents, despite requesting emergency TRO relief in this case. The Court is unable to rule on Mr. Peoples' [2] motion for temporary restraining order without reviewing Mr. Peoples' attachment Schedule "A" to his complaint and documents supporting his motion. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Mr. Peoples shall file his materials under seal on or before 2/20/2026. If all necessary documents are not timely filed, the Court will deny the [2] Motion. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 2/18/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
