Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Discovery and various exhibits thereto under seal pursuant to

Local Rule 79-5. (Dkt. No. 203.) Having considered Plaintiffs’ Motion and the Declaration of

protection under the law.” Civ.L. R. 79-5(a).

Similarly, the proposed redactions to the following exhibits are not “privileged or
protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law,” and Plaintiffs’

1

request to file portions of these exhibits under seal is DENIED as follows: Exhibit 9, the portion

2

of text in the third paragraph; Exhibit 12, all proposed redactions; and Exhibit 14, all proposed

3

redactions.

Plaintiffs’ request for sealing is granted in all other respects.
