The Court DENIES the plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to File Under Seal (Docket No.

14

106) without prejudice. Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(e), the plaintiffs seek to file under seal

15

documents designated as confidential by the defendants, in connection with their opposition to the

16

defendants' motion to dismiss. However, the defendants have not filed a responsive declaration

17

establishing that all of the designated material is sealable, as required by the local rules.

18

Accordingly, the Court finds that the parties have not presented "compelling reasons supported by

19

specific factual findings" to justify filing the materials at issue under seal. Kamakana v. City and

20

Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-80 (9th Cir. 2006) (internal quotations and citations

or before May 30, 2014.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
