v.
AETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant.

Case No. 12-cv-02819-MMC
ORDER DENYING AS MOOT
DEFERRED PORTION OF PARTIES’
JOINT ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION
AND STIPULATION TO FILE UNDER
SEAL
Re: Dkt. No. 204

13

Before the Court are a Joint Administrative Motion and Joint Stipulation, both filed

14

November 14, 2016, by which the parties seek leave to file under seal a USB drive

15

containing material that, according to the parties, comprises the full scope of evidence

16

relevant to the above-titled action.

17

On July 13, 2017, the Court issued an order granting in part and deferring ruling in

18

part on the parties’ joint motion, and, with regard to the materials as to which the Court

19

deferred ruling, directed any party seeking sealing of those materials to file, no later than

20

July 20, 2017, a declaration establishing a basis for sealing. On July 20, 2017, the

21

parties filed a joint notice, wherein the parties “agree[d] that the documents identified in

22

the July 13, 2017 order do not contain confidential information” and, in accordance

23

therewith, publicly filed those documents as Exhibits A-E to their joint notice. (See Joint

24

Notice, filed July 24, 2017, at 3:7-8, Exs. A-E.)

25

Accordingly, to the extent the parties initially sought an order sealing the

26

documents attached as Exhibits A through E to their joint notice, their Joint Administrative

27

Motion to file under seal is hereby DENIED as moot, and, as the non-confidential

28

materials included on the USB drive have been filed in the public record, the USB drive

1

and its contents may remain under seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
