ORDER RE: PROTECTIVE ORDER

The parties submitted a proposed protective order regarding discovery in this civil action.
(Docket # 17.) The Court accepts and ENTERS the proposed order subject to the following:
1.
¶ 10 – The Court REJECTS in its entirety the parties’ proposed and presumptive
request that all documents that they – not a judge of this Court – conclude are “confidential” will
automatically be filed under seal with the Court. That proposal does not comply with Ninth
Circuit authority on the subject. See, e.g., Oliner v. Kontrabecki, 745 F.3d 1024, 1026 (9th Cir.
2014); Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006).
2.
Instead, a party seeking to file material under seal with the Court due to the
provisions of this protective order must submit an appropriate application pursuant to Local
Rule of Court 79-5.1 for the Court to consider on a case-by-case basis.
