contents Holographic screens are codimension-one hypersurfaces that extend the notion of apparent horizons to general (non-black hole) spacetimes and that display interesting thermodynamic properties. We show that if a spacetime contains a codimension-two, boundary-homologous, minimal extremal spacelike surface $X$ (known as an HRT surface in AdS/CFT), then any holographic screens are sequestered to the causal wedges of $X$. That is, any single connected component of a holographic screen can be located in at most one of the causal future, causal past, inner wedge, or outer wedge of $X$. We comment on how this result informs possible coarse grained entropic interpretations of generic holographic screens, as well as on connections to semiclassical objects such as quantum extremal surfaces.
