`
`
`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`
`DISTRICT OF NEVADA
`
`* * *
`
`
`UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
`
`
`Plaintiff-Appellee,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`
`TYRONE DAVIS
`
`
`Case No. 2:12-cr-00289-JCM-VCF
`
`
`
`ORDER
`
`
`
`
`Defendant-Appellant.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Presently before the court is defendant Tyrone Davis’s motion for appointment of counsel
`
`and motion to seal financial affidavit. (ECF Nos. 373, 374)). Defendant requests that the court
`
`appoint CJA attorney Andrew Wong as his counsel to assist him in requesting early termination
`
`of supervised release. (ECF No. 373, at 1). Defendant also asks that his financial affidavit, filed
`
`in support of his appointment motion, remain under seal as it contains sensitive personal
`
`information. (ECF No. 374, at 1).
`
`After reviewing the defendant’s motion and financial affidavit, the court finds that the
`
`defendant meets both the financial and subject-matter eligibility requirements for appointment of
`
`CJA counsel. The court therefore GRANTS the defendant’s motion for appointment of CJA
`
`counsel with a nunc pro tunc date of February 1, 2024. (ECF No. 373).

`
`
`
`The court also finds that compelling reasons exist to GRANT the defendant’s motion to
`
`seal his financial affidavit as it contains sensitive information. (ECF No. 374). The need to keep
`
`the information in the affidavit sealed outweighs the public’s interest in disclosure and access to
`
`court records. See Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178–79 (9th Cir.
`
`2006) (explaining that courts must balance the competing interests “of the public and the party
`
`who seeks to keep certain judicial records secret”). The clerk is INSTRUCTED to maintain ECF
`
`No. 374 under seal.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`DATED February 16, 2024.
