BECHTEL CORP., et al., Defendants. ___________________________________/ On October 31, 2008, Plaintiffs submitted a letter setting forth several discovery disputes, and an administrative motion seeking to file that letter under seal. The Court's review of the letter reveals that it may not be entirely sealable pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5. Therefore, Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to Seal is denied without prejudice, and Plaintiffs should meet and confer with Defendants and re-file an administrative motion to seal that is narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable portions of the letter. Despite the Court's denial of Plaintiff's administrative motion, Defendants shall file a substantive response to Plaintiffs' letter no later than November 5, 2008 at noon. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: November 4, 2008 _______________________________ ELIZABETH D. LAPORTE United States Magistrate Judge
