Case No. 15-cv-05231-TEH
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
FILE DOCUMENT UNDER SEAL

Defendants.

On September 12, 2016, Plaintiff Robert MacKinnon filed a motion to file under

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

seal Exhibit F to the Declaration of Matthew J. Wayne in Support of Plaintiff’s Motion for

12

Partial Summary Judgment. MacKinnon states that he does not believe any portions of

13

this document, a December 28, 2014 email from Craig Malloy, are sealable. Instead, he

14

filed the motion to seal under Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) because Defendants designated the

15

document as “confidential.”

16

Under these circumstances, Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)(1) requires Defendants to file

17

a declaration “establishing that all of the designated material is sealable.” Defendants

18

have not filed any such declaration, and the time to do so has now passed. Accordingly,

19

the motion to file under seal is DENIED. MacKinnon “may file the [unredacted]

20

document in the public record no earlier than 4 days, and no later than 10 days,” after the

21

date of this order. Civ. L.R. 79-5(e)(2).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
