Before the Court is plaintiff’s “Administrative Motion to Seal Portion of Plaintiff

19

Infineon’s Opening Claim Construction Brief and Exhibits 2-3, 9, and 16 in Support

20

Thereof,” filed April 10, 2014, by which plaintiff seeks to file under seal the material

21

described therein, on the ground defendant has designated the material confidential.

22

Having read and considered plaintiff’s administrative request, the Court rules as follows.

23

Under the Local Rules of this District, where a party seeks to file under seal any

24

material designated as confidential by another party, the submitting party must file a motion

25

for a sealing order. See Civil L.R. 79-5(d)-(e). “Within 4 days of the filing of the

26

Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, the Designating Party must file a declaration . . .

27

establishing that all of the designated information is sealable.” Id. at 79-5(e)(1). “If the

28

Designating Party does not file a responsive declaration as required by subsection 79-

1

5(e)(1) and the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal is denied, the Submitting Party

2

may file the document in the public record no earlier than 4 days, and no later than 10

3

days, after the motion is denied.” Id. at 79-5(e)(2).

Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to file under seal is hereby DENIED, and plaintiff is
