Cogenra Solar, Inc. et al v. SolarCity Corporation et al

Filing 26

Order by Hon. Vince Chhabria denying 7 Administrative Motion to File Under Seal without prejudice to renewed motion. (vclc2S, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 10/18/2016)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COGENRA SOLAR, INC., et al.,

Case No. 16-cv-05481-VC

Plaintiffs,
ORDER ON MOTION TO FILE UNDER
SEAL

v.
SOLARCITY CORPORATION, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 7

Defendants.

The motion to file portions of the complaint under seal is denied without prejudice to a
renewed motion once the plaintiffs have finished conferring with the defendants regarding the
scope of the sealing request. The parties should ensure that any renewed request is narrowly
tailored to meet the Ninth Circuit's standard for sealing information. See Ctr. for Auto Safety v.
Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092 (9th Cir. 2016). Failure to tailor the request narrowly could
result in its outright denial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 18, 2016
