Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11 and 79-5, Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., Disney Enterprises, Inc., NBC Universal, Inc., Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., Sony Pictures Television, Inc., Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Universal City Studios LLLP, Universal City Studios Productions LLLP, Viacom, Inc., Walt Disney Pictures, and Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. (collectively, "the Studios") respectfully apply for an order sealing the highly confidential version of the following document: (1) [Proposed] Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law Submitted by Motion

Picture Studio Plaintiffs. A "compelling reason" exists to seal this document. See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (holding that "[a] party seeking to seal a judicial record . . . bears the burden of overcoming the `compelling reasons' standard"); Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1135-36 (9th Cir. 2003). The confidential material at issue divulges aspects of the Studios' and Real's proprietary business, technical, and/or trade secret information. This material has been designated by the Studios and Real as "confidential" pursuant to the protective order governing this litigation, and is thus being manually filed under seal. This Application to Seal is narrowly tailored to protect the public's interest in access to judicial records and the public policies favoring disclosure. Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178. The Studios have filed with the Court a public redacted version of the aforementioned document. For these reasons, the Court should grant the Application to Seal.
