Case No. 13-cv-01171-JSW
ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT'S
ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO SEAL
AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO
PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL
Re: Docket No. 245

12
On January 8, 2016, Defendants filed an administrative motion to seal documents that

13
14

Plaintiffs filed in connection with the pending motion for class certification. Plaintiffs have

15

opposed that motion. The Court HEREBY ORDERS the parties to submit additional briefing on

16

the proper standard of review to be applied to resolving the motion to seal. See, e.g., Center for

17

Auto Safety v. Chrysler Group, No. 15-55084, Slip. Op. at 11-12, 17-18 (9th Cir. Jan. 11, 2016).

18

The parties’ supplemental briefs shall be due by no later than January 22, 2016.
Defendants also note that the documents at issue had been designated as confidential

19
20

pursuant to a protective order entered in a companion case pending in state court. There is no

21

protective order in this case. However, Northern District Local Rule 79-5(e) expressly sets forth

22

procedures about filing documents under seal that have been designated as confidential by an

23

opposing party or a non-party. N.D. Civ. L.R. 79-5(e)(1). Accordingly, Plaintiffs are HEREBY

24

ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why they should not be sanctioned in the amount of $250.00 for

25

failure to comply with the procedures set forth in that rule.
