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', DVD CCA's, and Real's proprietary business, technical, and/or trade secret information. This material has been designated by the Studios, the DVD CCA, and Real as "confidential" pursuant to the protective order governing this litigation, and has thus been manually lodged with the Court. 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. For these reasons, the Court should grant the Application to Seal. DATED: June 25, 2009 MUNGER, TOLLES & OLSON LLP
