Before the Court is Mentor Graphics Corporation’s (“Mentor”) “Administrative Motion
to File Under Seal Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff’s Omnibus Motion for Summary
Judgment, Supporting[] Gupta and Sarrafzadeh Declarations, and Supporting Exhibits C-F,
J-K, and Q to the Declaration of Xavier A. Clark,” filed October 17, 2014, by which Mentor
seeks to file under seal material designated confidential by Mentor. By order filed October
22, 2014, the Court deferred ruling on the administrative motion to the extent it sought to
seal the entirety of exhibit Q to the above-referenced declaration, pending Mentor’s filing a
supplemental response providing for such document a redacted version limiting the amount
of material sought to be sealed. On October 31, 2014, Mentor filed its supplemental
response. Having read and considered the supplemental response, the Court finds good
cause for the relief requested therein.
Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS the administrative motion to the extent it

1

seeks to seal portions of exhibit Q, and the requested portions of said exhibit may remain

2

under seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
