Pursuant to Local Rules 7-11(a) and 79-5(c), Plaintiffs Oracle USA, Inc., Oracle International Corporation and Oracle EMEA Limited ("Plaintiffs") and Defendants SAP AG, SAP America, Inc. and TomorrowNow, Inc. ("Defendants," and together with Plaintiffs, the "Parties") request that the Court order the Clerk of the Court to file under seal, at Plaintiffs' request, portions of Defendants' Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Fourth Amended Complaint ("Answer"), which Defendants lodged with the Court on August 26, 2009. The requested relief sought is necessary and narrowly tailored to protect the alleged confidentiality of the content of Plaintiffs' information put at issue by the Answer. Specifically, a portion of paragraph 13 of the Answer filed and lodged with the Court contains information designated by Plaintiffs as "Confidential Information." The parties agree that the materials put at issue by the Answer are governed by Fed. R. Evid. 408. This request is supported by the Stipulation and Declaration of Tharan Gregory Lanier in support of Defendants' Administrative Motion to File Under Seal attached. Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5, a proposed order and stipulation accompanies this request to file portions of the Answer under seal. DATED: August 26, 2009 JONES DAY
