Overture, and under the terms of the protective order entered in this case on December 18, 2002, Google cannot file these materials publicly. See Protective Order ¶ 6. In light of the foregoing, Google respectfully submits that this Request to File Documents Under Seal is narrowly tailored within the meaning of Civil Local Rule 79-5 and the Honorable Elizabeth D.

Google therefore requests that the Court permit the sealing of the documents set forth above, and order that the Clerk of the Court maintain them in accordance with the provisions of Local Civil Rule 79-5(e).
