IV. Conclusion
In sum, the court finds that in this case a partial closure
of court proceedings is necessary in that today’s hearing will
be conducted by video and telephone conference. This partial
closure is justified by the substantial interest of protecting
public health and safety from the spread of COVID-19 and is
narrowly tailored to protect that interest. The public
maintains the opportunity to access these proceedings in full by
telephone.
