PER CURIAM:
Under Seal 1 appeals the district court’s June 20, 2025, order. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Under Seal 1’s motion to
impose sanctions and affirm the district court’s order. Under Seal 1 v. Under Seal 2,
No. 5:25-mc-00001-KDB-DCK (W.D.N.C. June 20, 2025). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.*
AFFIRMED
* Given the heavy burden to seal judicial records, see, e.g., United States ex rel.
Oberg v. Nelnet, Inc., 105 F.4th 161, 171 (4th Cir. 2024), we direct that the documents in
this appeal be unsealed twenty days after this opinion is issued. If a valid justification
exists for sealing some portion of the materials, then we invite the parties to file a motion
addressing the issue within the twenty-day period.
