INTRAMEDIC RESEARCH GROUP, LLC,

Re: Dkt. No. 70

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

On February 2, 2016, Plaintiff filed an administrative motion to file under seal the

13

unredacted version of the Declaration of David Elliot in Support of Plaintiff’s Opposition to

14

Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint (“Declaration”) and Exhibit A to the

15

Declaration. Dkt. No. 70. The Declaration and Exhibit A thereto contain a document that

16

Defendant has marked as “CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.” Id. at 1.

17

However, Defendant has failed to file a declaration within four days of the filing of the

18

motion to seal, as required by Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)(1). The Court therefore finds that the

19

information designated as confidential by Defendant and contained in the attached Declaration and

20

Exhibit A sought to be sealed is not sealable information. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to seal

21

the Declaration and Exhibit A attached to its motion is DENIED.

documents in the public record no earlier than four days and no later than ten days after the date of

3

this Order. The Court will be unable to consider the Declaration and Exhibit A thereto unless

4

Plaintiff timely files an unredacted version.
