UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RACHEL CONDRY, et al.,

Case No. 17-cv-00183-VC

Plaintiffs,
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT
PREJUDICE MOTION TO SEAL

v.
UNITEDHEALTH GROUP, INC., et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 47

Defendants.

With their motion to dismiss, the defendants submitted a letter sent by Jance Hoy to the
United Healthcare Appeals Board. The defendants asked to seal the entire letter and its
attachments. That request is too broad. Although parts of the letter and attachments may be
sealable because they contain protected or private health information, the entire letter is not
sealable. See Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092 (9th Cir. 2016); In re
Hewlett-Packard Co. S'holder Derivative Litig., No. 12-cv-06003-CRB (N.D. Cal. July 28,
2015), Dkt. No. 411. The motion to file under seal is denied without prejudice to a renewed
request filed within 14 days that seeks to redact only sealable information.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 15, 2017
