O R D E R
The Court is in receipt of a Motion to Seal filed by Defendant Theresa Framel [Doc.
No. 57] that seeks various relief including a PACER fee exemption.1 	The Court has
previously ordered that Defendant Framel may file her PACER exemption request under
seal due to the circumstances of this case. See Order [Doc. No. 55]. Further, to the extent
the Motion includes information and exhibits from sealed state court records relating to
custody or juvenile proceedings in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of
Oklahoma, 	the 	Court 	finds 	the 	State 	of 	Oklahoma’s 	“countervailing 	interest[]” 	in
maintaining the privacy of juvenile proceedings “heavily outweigh[s] the public interest in
access” to those records. United States v. Bacon, 950 F.3d 1286, 1293 (10th Cir. 2020).
Therefore, in accordance with the Court’s prior Order [Doc. No. 55], the Court
hereby directs the Clerk of Court to seal the Motion and its exhibit in their entirety [Doc.
No. 57].
1 The Court cautions Defendant Framel that any future requests to seal filings or exhibits must
comply with the Local Rules of this Court. 	See e.g., LCvR 5.2.2. 	Failure to comply with
applicable local and federal rules may result in the request relief being denied or stricken.
