The court’s order deciding Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and U.S. Bank’s motions

20

references certain information previously designated confidential by U.S. Bank and ASIC. The

21

court files two versions: a modestly-redacted public record order and an unredacted order filed under

22

seal (a copy of which will be emailed to lead counsel).

23

Defendants’ counsel must review the redactions (which appear only on pages 3 through 5) and

24

determine what should remain under seal under Civil Local Rule 79-5, given the strong presumption

25

of access to judicial records. See Kamakama v. City and Cnty. Of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 117, 1178

26

(9th Cir. 2006). Within two business days, they must file under seal their proposed public version of

27

the order with the proposed redactions highlighted and must submit the appropriate declarations in

28

support of their redactions. Within two business days of Defendants’ filing, Plaintiffs must file any

If the parties do not submit proposed redactions, the court will file the unredacted order in seven
days from the date of this order.
