UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEAL
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC.,
LUCASFILM LTD. LLC,
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM
CORPORATION, AND WARNER
BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC.,
Plaintiffs-Appellees,

No. 16-56843
MOTION TO FILE ANSWERING
BRIEF AND SUPPLEMENTAL
EXCERPTS OF RECORD VOLUME
3 UNDER SEAL

v.
VIDANGEL, INC.,
Defendant-Appellant.
Pursuant to Interim Circuit Rule 27-13(e), Plaintiffs-Appellees Disney
Enterprises, Inc., Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation,
and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (“Plaintiffs-Appellees”) hereby move to seal
portions of the contemporaneously filed Appellees’ Answer Brief (“Brief”) and
Supplemental Excerpts of Record. Pursuant to Interim Circuit Rule 27-13(c),
Plaintiffs-Appellees submit the portions of the Supplemental Excerpts of Record
proposed to be filed under seal as a separate volume that contains only those
unredacted documents proposed to be filed under seal. The redacted versions of
both the Brief and the Supplemental Excerpts of Record will simultaneously be
filed publicly.
The text of the Brief and documents included in the Supplemental Excerpts
of Record Volume 3 are district court docket entries, all of which contain

references to business information that VidAngel has certified would cause it
irreparable harm if disclosed publicly. The relevant documents and information
were ordered sealed by the district court. Pages 1225-42, 1270-89 and 1464-1518
of the Supplemental Excerpts of Record Volume 3, which Plaintiffs-Appellees
filed in support of their Opposition To VidAngel, Inc.’s Emergency Motion Under
Circuit Rule 27-3 For A Stay Pending Appeal, were previously ordered sealed by
this Court (Dkt. 41).
Plaintiffs-Appellees take no position on whether the materials that are the
subject of this request merit filing under seal. Plaintiffs-Appellees make this
request based on VidAngel’s designations of the documents and information under
the protective order and this Court’s and the district court’s prior orders.
Plaintiffs-Appellees therefore respectfully request that the unredacted Brief
and documents filed within the Supplemental Excerpts of Record Volume 3 be
filed under seal.
Dated: February 8, 2017

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
SEALED DOCUMENTS
INTERIM CIRCUIT RULE 27-13
Case Number: 16-56843
Case Title:

Disney Enterprises, Inc., et al. v. VidAngel, Inc.

Note: Documents to be filed under seal are to be submitted electronically. As the parties
will not have online access to those documents once they are submitted, the CM/
ECF electronic notice of filing will not act to cause service of those documents
under FRAP 25(c)(2) and Ninth Circuit Rule 25-5(f). Interim Circuit Rule 27-13(c)
therefore requires an alternative method of serving the motion or notice to seal and
the materials to be sealed.
I certify that I have provided a paper copy of the document(s) listed below to all other
parties via personal service, mail, or third-party commercial carrier on the date noted
below. See FRAP 25(c)(1)(A) – (C).
I certify that, having obtained prior consent, I have provided a copy of the document(s)
listed below to all other parties via electronic mail. See FRAP 25(c)(1)(D); Interim
Circuit Rule 27-13(c).
