Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, Plaintiffs respectfully apply for an order sealing the following documents: · Declaration of Tracy Tosh Lane in Support of Plaintiffs' Reply in Support of Motion for Leave to Amend ("Tosh Lane Declaration") and supporting exhibits A "compelling reason" exists to seal these documents. 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 Tosh Lane Declaration and supporting exhibits contain confidential technical information of Real, as well as confidential business and competitive information. Declaration of Michael A. Berta in Support of Plaintiffs and Counterclaim Defendants' Administrative Motion to File Under Seal ¶ 2. Real would suffer competitive harm if this information were publicly available. Id. This Administrative Motion to File Under 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 Administrative Motion to File Under Seal.
