No. C 10-03561 WHA

Google Inc. seeks leave to file portions of its Daubert motion and supporting documents

17

under seal (Dkt. No. 170). As to exhibits A, H, I, J, L, M, P, Q, R, and W to the Weingaertner

18

declaration, the motion is GRANTED. Google may file those documents under seal.

19

As to the Leonard declaration and the brief, however, the administrative motion cannot be

20

granted at this time. The redacted portions of those documents include public information, and

21

the supporting declaration submitted by Google is too general to support the sealing of any

22

confidential Google information (Dkt. No. 170-1). Counsel will be given one opportunity to

23

remedy these deficiencies as follows.

24

By JUNE 24, 2011, Google may submit a supplemental declaration supporting its

25

administrative motion and more narrowly redacted versions of the brief and the Leonard

26

declaration. The supplemental declaration should specifically identify any confidential Google

27

information to be redacted from those documents and explain why it is sealable. Only

28

confidential material that is specifically addressed in either the supplemental declaration or the

1

Sarboraria declaration (Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 13) may be redacted. Additionally, counsel should

2

submit chambers copies of the full documents with the redacted portions highlighted.

3

Counsel are reminded that no document, declaration, or motion (including administrative

4

motions) may be filed under seal without an individualized sealing order, and that other relevant

5

guidelines are set forth in the local rules and the protective order for this action (Dkt. No. 68).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
