HENDRIK BLOCK,

Plaintiff,

No. 1:15-cv-00991-DAD-CKD

v.

ORDER

STARBUCKS CORPORATION, et al,

15

Defendant.

16
Presently pending before the court is plaintiff Hendrik Block’s March 20, 2018 motion for

17
18

attorney fees. (ECF No. 74.) Pursuant to the terms of the parties’ March 19, 2018 settlement

19

agreement, the settlement and portions of the parties’ briefing on the pending motion were filed

20

under seal. (See ECF No. 73.)
“All information provided to the Court in a specific action is presumptively public, but

21
22

may be sealed in conformance with L.R. 141.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 141.1(a)(1). Therefore, the terms

23

of the settlement referenced by the parties in their briefing before the court are presumptively

24

public information. The court does not discern any good cause why portions of this briefing

25

should remain sealed. Moreover, the court has preliminarily concluded that it is necessary to

26

disclose certain terms of the settlement in order to reach the merits of plaintiff’s motion.
