The public possesses a common-law right to access to judicial records. In re Alexander Grant & Co. Litig., 820 F. 2d 352, 355 (11th Cir. 1987). Nevertheless, the public's right of access to judicial records in this context “may be overcome by a showing of good cause.” Romero v. Drummond Co., 480 F. 3d 1234, 1245 (11th Cir. 2007). Here, Plaintiffs are minor children. Actions brought on behalf of minor children keep personal information private, especially when it bears no relation to the events in the lawsuit. See Breedlove v. Hartford Life & Acc. Ins. Co., No. 6:11- CV-
991-ORL-28, 2013 WL 1935251, at *2 (M.D. Fla. May 9, 2013); Riha ex rel I.C. v. Polk Cnty. Sch. Dist., 8:17-cv-787T-33AAS (M.D. Fla. Nov. 3, 2017).
