GOLDEN GATE CHRISTIAN REFORM CHURCH et al | Court Date: | | 2025-12-12 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Notice Of Motion To Seal Medical Records | Rulings: | | On the Law and Motion/Discovery calendar for December 12, 2025, line 2. PLAINTIFFS RYSON SUN A MINOR, BY AND THROUGH HIS GUARDIAN AD LITEM, SYLVESTER SUN'S Motion To Seal Medical Records.

The unopposed motion to seal certain records in the court's public docket is granted. As to these records, medical records of the minor plaintiff, the court finds the following: (1) There exists an overriding interest that overcomes the right of public access to the record; (2) The overriding interest supports sealing the record; (3) A substantial probability exists that the overriding interest will be prejudiced if the record is not sealed; (4) The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored; and (5) No less restrictive means exist to achieve the overriding interest.

The court orders the clerk of this court to seal permanently the March 6, 2014, Petition to Approve Compromise, and to file in the public docket a redacted version of the Petition, attached as Exhibit A to the Supplemental Declaration of Khaldoun A. Baghdadi, filed on October 11, 2025.
