in this action, the parties should be prepared to address the following issue on the public record

18

at the outset of the summary judgment hearing tomorrow: To what extent should sealed

20

court of appeals emphasized in Kamakana v. Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006)?

21

Be prepared to address this question in light of the various privileges asserted by the

23

due process privilege, and privileges under the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Privacy

24

Act.
