A party seeking to seal a judicial record then bears the burden of overcoming a "strong

12

presumption in favor of access." Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179

13

(9th Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, neither motion to file under seal meets

14

the "high threshold of showing that 'compelling reasons' support secrecy," id. at 1180.

15

Accordingly, the motions are denied.
