MINUTE ORDER: Upon consideration of the parties' joint stipulation of dismissal, Dkt. 43, it is hereby ORDERED that the claims of Plaintiff Stefon Kirkpatrick are DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk's Office is directed to terminate Plaintiff Kirkpatrick as a party in this case. Signed by Judge Randolph D. Moss on 04/22/2020.

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Randolph D. Moss: Telephonic Motion Hearing held on 4/22/2020 re: 39 MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order filed by ENZO COSTA, WILLIAM DUNBAR, VINITA SMITH. All parties and the Court appeared via telephone. Plaintiffs shall send a records citation to the relevant CDC guidelines, via email, to Defendants tonight; Plaintiffs shall send a list to Defendants by 9:00 AM on 4/23/2020; The parties shall meet and confer, and file a Joint Status Report by 4:00 PM on 4/23/2020. (Court Reporter Jeff Hook.) (kt)

MINUTE ORDER: There is a strong presumption in favor of public access to judicial records and documents, but that presumption "may be outweighed in certain cases by competing interests." Metlife, Inc. v. Fin. Stability Oversight Council, 865 F.3d 661, 665 (D.C. Cir. 2017). Here, Defendants seek leave to file under seal Saint Elizabeths Hospital's Emergency Preparedness Plan ("EPP"). The EPP contains non -public details about operations at Saint Elizabeths Hospital and how the District plans to maintain operations during various emergency situations, including information about which kinds of patients are kept where, logistics for moving people in emergency situations, and locations of emergency supplies. The Court finds that the public interest in the disclosure of this document is low because little, if any of the EPP's contents bear on the matters being litigated in the case--the Defendants' response to COVID-19. Instead, the EPP's contents pertain to more general emergency preparedness measures. The reason for sealing, in contrast, is compelling. The EPP contains sensitive operational and security details that could be compromised by public disclosure. Accordingly, Defendants' motion for leave to file under seal, Dkt. 44, is hereby GRANTED. The EPP, Dkt. 44-1 (attached exhibits to Dkt. 44), shall be filed under SEAL. Signed by Judge Randolph D. Moss on 04/22/2020.
