MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
TERRY L. MYERS, Chief Judge.
Chapter 7 debtor Philip Lewis Hart (“Debtor”) filed a motion seeking to “seal” and keep confidential the terms of a settlement he reached with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). See Doc. No. 25 (“Motion”).1 Both the IRS and the United States Trustee (“UST”) objected. Doc. Nos. 32, 34. On August 18, 2014, the Court heard oral argument and took the matter under advisement.
The Court determines the Motion is not well taken. An order will be entered denying the Motion and requiring the settlement agreement to be made part of the record herein.
