ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE
UNDER SEAL
Docket No. 304

Defendants.

For the Northern District of California

United States District Court

Case No. 15-cv-04525-EMC

13

Currently pending before the Court is ASUS’s motion to file under seal. ASUS has moved

14
15

to file under seal because certain information has been designated by Avago or a third party as

16

confidential. According to ASUS, it has given notice to both Avago and the relevant third parties

17

so that they may assert a claim of confidentiality, as necessary. Only Avago has submitted a

18

declaration supporting a filing under seal, but Avago does not claim confidentiality as to all of the

19

information that ASUS identified in its motion.
The Court has reviewed Avago’s declaration and finds that it justifies a filing under seal

20
21

with respect to the portions identified by Avago. As to these portions identified by Avago, the

22

motion to file under seal is GRANTED.
As to the remaining portions, however, sealing is not appropriate as no party or third party

23
24

has asserted a claim of confidentiality. Thus, to this extent, the motion to file under seal is

25

DENIED.

The Court orders ASUS to re-file (publicly) its opposition brief so that only those portions

2

identified by Avago in its declaration are redacted. ASUS shall re-file its opposition brief within

3

three days of the date of this order.
