Pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5(d), Plaintiffs have filed an Administrative Motion to File Under Seal certain documents attached as exhibits to their Notice of Motion and Motion for Class Certification, including Plaintiffs' Exhibit 20. Exhibit 20 is a document produced by the National Football League ("NFL"), a third party to this litigation, in response to a subpoena served by Plaintiffs. The NFL has submitted a declaration in support of Plaintiffs' request to file Exhibit 20 under seal ("Danias Declaration"), accompanied by a proposed redaction of Exhibit 20. The Danias Declaration establishes that the redacted portions of Exhibit 20 contain highly sensitive business information that, if disclosed, would damage current and future business opportunities for both the NFL and those parties with whom it conducts business. GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: A. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5(a), Civil L.R. 79-5(d), and the Court's inherent

authority over the papers filed in this Court, the following document is to be sealed: An unredacted version of Exhibit 20 to Plaintiffs' Notice of Motion and Motion for Class Certification.

B.

A public version of Exhibit 20 may be filed in redacted form as set forth in the

attachment to the Danias Declaration dated November 17, 2009.
