GEORGE RUIZ, et al.,

Plaintiffs, [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING
DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF TO FILE
UNDER SEAL

v.
EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al ,

17

Defendants.

19

On December 6, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary injunction. In connection

20

with their opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion, Defendants seek, in accordance with this District’s

21

Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5(c), to file under seal portions of their opposition briefing and

22

portions of a declaration supporting their opposition. The Court has considered Defendants’

23

motion, including unredacted versions of the documents at issue submitted for in camera review

24

and the declaration of Michael Ruff filed in support of Defendants sealing request. Defendants

25

have established that the information they seek to file under seal implicates legitimate safety and

26

security concerns and should be protected from disclosure to Plaintiffs and the public.

27

Accordingly, the Court grants Defendants’ motion for administrative relief to file certain

28

information under seal.
