On January 17, 2013, Rite Aid Corporation (“Rite Aid”) filed an administrative motion

21

to seal and a declaration in support of that motion. (Docket No. 29.) On January 23, 2013, the

22

Court directed Rite Aid to show cause why its motion and the supporting declaration should not

23

be electronically filed in the public record. On that same day, Rite Aid filed its response to the

24

Order to Show Cause. (Docket No. 32.) The Court notes that the information that Rite Aid

25

seeks to seal are matters relating to the Plaintiffs’ allegations and have already been referenced

26

in other documents that have been publicly filed. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Rite Aid’s

27

motion to seal its administrative motion to seal. That motion and the declaration of Gabrielle

28

Handler Marks and the proposed order shall be electronically filed in their entirety.

1

The Court also refers all parties to Northern District Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General

2

Order 62, which sets forth the standards and procedures to be followed when a party

3

seeks to file a document under seal. If any party fails to comply with these procedures in the

4

future, the Court shall strike the offending briefs from the record.

5

On January 22, 2013, Plaintiff Trent Jason filed a response to Rite Aid’s administrative

6

motion to seal. (Docket No. 35.) The Court concludes that response does not contain

7

information that should be filed under seal. Accordingly, the Clerk shall scan and electronically

8

file Docket No. 35 in the public record.

Declaration of Trent Jason filed as Docket No. 28, the Court HEREBY ORDERS Rite Aid to

For the Northern District of California

Pursuant to the Court’s previous Order granting Rite-Aid’s motion to seal the

10

United States District Court

9

file a redacted version of that document. The Clerk is HEREBY ORDERED to file Docket No.

12

28 under seal.

13

It is FURTHER ORDERED that all briefing on the pending motion to remand and the

14

pending motion to dismiss is HEREBY CLOSED. The Court shall not accept any further

15

briefing on those issue. If any party violates this Order, the Court shall strike the offending

16

brief or declaration from the record without further notice.
