TO ALL PARTIES HEREIN: The Court has read and considered Plaintiffs', BANK JULIUS BAER & CO. LTD's ("BJB") and JULIUS BAER BANK AND TRUST CO. LTD's ("JBBT") (collectively, "Julius Baer" and/or "Plaintiffs"), ex parte application for an Order pursuant to Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5 (a) and (b), to file a copy of selected document evidence exhibits, comprised of portions of Plaintiffs' confidential and protected bank files, records, data and account information, and selected wikileaks website printouts containing the same (collectively, the "JB Property") lodged/filed as Exhibits "A" through "O", under seal and to seal the JB Property permanently so that it is not open to inspection by the public, and that should Defendants seek to file any copies of any of the JB Property, that the same likewise be ordered filed under seal. The JB Property has been lodged with this Court pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5 (a) and (b) in support of the Plaintiffs' ex parte application for the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause Re Preliminary Injunction, enjoining and restraining Defendants WIKILEAKS, WIKILEAKS.ORG, DYNADOT, LLC, and DOES 1 through 10 (collectively, "Defendants"). The Court finds that the Plaintiffs, in order to present their case for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction to the Court, have proffered evidence contained in the JB Property, which the Plaintiffs contend contains the private, confidential and protected bank and consumer records posted, displayed on, discussed, written about and disseminated on defendants' website, in direct violation of foreign and domestic privacy laws. To allow the documents which comprise the JB Bank Records to remain in the public record and open to inspection defeats the purpose of the foreign and domestic banking and privacy laws, as well as a TRO and possible Preliminary Injunction in this case. Good cause appearing therefor, this Court finds pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5, that: ///
