SOPHOS, INC., et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 137

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
Fortinet has filed a motion to seal (Docket No. 137) which seeks to file portions of the

12
13

parties’ joint discovery letter (Docket No. 138) under seal. Fortinet notes that it does not claim

14

that the material to be sealed is confidential. However, because Sophos believes the material is

15

confidential, Fortinet brings this motion pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5(e).
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e), a party must file under seal a document designated as

16
17

confidential by the opposing party or a document containing information so designated by an

18

opposing party. “Within 4 days of the filing of the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, the

19

Designating Party must file a declaration as required by subsection 79-5(d)(1)(A) establishing that

20

all of the designated material is sealable.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(e)(1). “If the Designating Party does

21

not file a responsive declaration as required by subsection 79-5(e)(1) and the Administrative

22

Motion to File Under Seal is denied, the Submitting Party may file the document in the public

23

record no earlier than 4 days, and no later than 10 days, after the motion is denied.” Civ. L.R. 79-

24

5(e)(2).
