Defendants/Counterclaimants.

Pursuant to Local Rule of Civil Procedure 5.6, the parties have filed joint motions

18

to seal their letters describing the summary judgment and Daubert motions they intend to

19

file because the letters disclose Defendants’ confidential business information. Docs. 387,

20

391, 394. The parties have lodged the proposed unredacted sealed versions of the letters

21

with the Court (Docs. 389, 390, 392) and have filed redacted public versions on the docket

22

(Docs. 384, 385, 393).

23

Sealing the letters will have no effect on the public’s ability to understand the issues

24

addressed in the letters because lightly redacted copies have been filed in the public docket.

25

The Court finds compelling reasons to seal and will grant the parties’ motions. See

26

Kamakana v. City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006); see also
