ORDER RE: ADMINISTRATIVE

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Defendants.

Re: Dkt. Nos. 117, 121, 122, 127, 131

On November 13, 2015, this Court granted plaintiff’s request for leave to file a Fourth
Dkt. 138.

This order rendered moot defendants’ summary judgment

14

Amended Complaint.

15

motion. Dkt. 117, 118. The following documents were filed under seal in support of, or in

16

opposition to, this motion: (1) defendants’ motion and accompanying exhibits and declarations

17

(Dkt. 117); (2) plaintiff’s opposition and accompanying exhibits and declarations (Dkt. 121, 122);

18

(3) defendants’ reply and accompanying declaration (Dkt. 127); and (4) defendants’ supplemental

19

brief (Dkt. 131). Consequently, this order mooted these administrative motions as well.

20

The Court assumes that some of the original documents sought to be sealed will be re-

21

submitted over the course of this case. Before either party proceeds to file another document

22

under seal, however, this Court orders the two sides to meet and confer and (1) determine whether

23

this document is duplicative of a document filed by the opposing party, and if so, (2) to file a joint

24

administrative motion to seal whereby the parties stipulate to the specific contents of the document

25

they wish sealed, by paragraph or line number. The Court will not rule on competing motions to

26

seal that target different paragraphs or lines in the same document. If both parties agree that the

27

entire document should be sealed, they must indicate this in their joint administrative motion. If

28

either party objects to a document being sealed (in whole or in part), that party may indicate the

1

nature of the objection in the joint administrative motion.
