ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the petition at ECF No. 1. Because these documents contain the name of a minor, the Court sua sponte seals these documents. The Court finds good cause to seal on the basis of the nature of the information contained therein and finds that sealing is supported by clear and compelling reasons and is narrowly tailored to serve these reasons.
