Plaintiffs,

Case No.: 11-CV-00947 YGR
ORDER DENYING ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION
TO SEAL

vs.
OFFICEMAX NORTH AMERICA, INC.,
Defendant.

12

The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs’ Administrative Motion to Seal exhibits to its motion

13

for class certification (Dkt. No. 68), and the Responsive Declaration of Benjamin B. Byrd in

14

Support of the Motion to Seal (Dkt. No. 69).

15

The Rule 26(c) “good cause” standard applies to documents submitted in connection with

16

non-dispositive motions, such as discovery motions, and the court may seal the documents “to

17

protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or

18

expense.” Pintos, supra, 565 F.3d at 1116. The Court does not find good cause to seal the

19

documents.

20

Therefore, the Administrative Motion to Seal is DENIED. Plaintiffs shall file Exhibits C,

21

D, E, F, and G, attached to the Declaration of Gene Stonebarger in support of Plaintiff’s Motion

22

for Class Certification without redaction in the public record pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5(e).
