The parties have filed a joint stipulation regarding
sealing procedures in connection with any summary judgment
filings.

The parties have stipulated to a procedure whereby any

summary judgment materials would be filed initially under seal
and then if the party wished for the materials to remain under
seal, they would then file a notice of request to seal documents,
a request to seal documents, a proposed order, and the materials
covered by the request ten calendar days after the hearing date

for any summary judgment motions.

Materials would then be

2

unsealed if not included in the later-filed requests to seal.

3

However, this procedure does not comply with Local Rule

4

141’s requirement that “[d]ocuments may be sealed only by written

5

order of the court, upon the showing required by applicable law.”

6

In other words, no document may be filed under seal, or redacted,

7

without a showing that the specific document, or certain contents

8

within, should be redacted or filed under seal.

9

court rejects the parties’ stipulation without prejudice.

Accordingly, the
All

10

requests to seal shall follow the procedure set forth in Local

11

Rule 141.
