Before the Court is defendant’s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, filed
October 14, 2013, by which defendant seeks leave to file under seal a document
designated by plaintiff. Having read and considered the administrative request, the Court
rules as follows.
Under the Local Rules of this District, where a party seeks to file under seal any
material designated as confidential by another party, the submitting party must file a motion
for a sealing order. See Civil L.R. 79-5(d)-(e). “Within 4 days of the filing of the
Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, the Designating Party must file a declaration . . .
establishing that all of the designated information is sealable.” Id. at 79-5(e)(1). “If the
Designating Party does not file a responsive declaration as required by subsection 795(e)(1) and the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal is denied, the Submitting Party
may file the document in the public record no earlier than 4 days, and no later than 10

1

days, after the motion is denied.” Id. at 79-5(e)(2).
Here, the designating party has not filed a responsive declaration within the requisite

time.
Accordingly, defendant’s motion to file under seal is hereby DENIED, and defendant

is hereby DIRECTED to file in the public record, no later than November 4, 2013,
