On July 23, 2013, the parties filed a stipulated request to seal 6 documents previously filed

20 and publicly available on the docket. The parties indicate that a term was used in each of the
21 filings that inaccurately describes Defendant's business and has caused the following unintended
22 consequences:

(1) Defendant's business practices are under investigation; (2) several of

23 Defendant's accounts have been frozen during the investigation; and (3) Defendant is in jeopardy
24 of losing its current contracts and its ability to be awarded future contracts with its clients. (Doc.
25 125, p. 3.)
26

Additionally, the parties filed a stipulated request that redacted versions of the Second

27 Amended Complaint and Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Opposition to
28 Defendant SSC's Motion to Change Venue ("Opposition"), attached as exhibits B and C to the

1 stipulated request, be deemed filed.
2

The Court finds that there is a compelling reason to seal the documents at docket numbers

3 1, 6, 12, 14, 27, and 123. See Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th
4 Cir. 2006). Further, the redacted versions of Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint and Plaintiffs'
5 Opposition, filed as exhibits B and C to docket number 126, shall be deemed filed pursuant to the
6 parties' request.
7

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERD that:
