No. C 14-04293 WHA

Crossroads seeks leave to file under seal portions of its brief and certain exhibits in

17

support of its motion to modify the case management order and for leave to amend its answer,

18

affirmative defenses and counterclaims, as those documents rely on discussions that occurred

19

between the parties pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement. Crossroads discussed the sealing

20

motion with Quantum, but was unclear whether Quantum intended to waive its confidentiality

21

rights as to the documents included in this motion, so Crossroads filed this sealing motion out of

22

an abundance of caution. Quantum has filed an opposition to Crossroads’ sealing motion

23

clarifying that it does not assert any confidentiality interest in the materials sought to be sealed.

24

Accordingly, Crossroads’ motion to file under seal is DENIED.

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
