No. C 17-03786 WHA

The State of California filed this action on June 30, 2017. On the same day it withdrew

18

its complaint; however, at the parties’ request the Clerk did not close the case but instead held

19

the action in abeyance.

20

On July 10, the State of California moved for a temporary restraining order and filed

21

therewith a motion to seal certain documents. The Court is not convinced that these documents

22

warrant sealing, but nevertheless to expedite this action and ensure that the defendants receive

23

all documents as soon as possible, the following items will be filed under seal at plaintiff’s

24

request:
