On August 29, 2014, Plaintiff filed an administrative motion to seal portions of its

16

motion to remand, as well as certain exhibits in support of that motion. (Docket No. 10.)

Plaintiff attest that Defendants designated these materials confidential.

If the Submitting Party is seeking to file under seal a document designated
as confidential by the opposing party or a non-party pursuant to a
protective order, or a document containing information so designated by an
opposing party or a non-party, the Submitting Party’s declaration in
support of the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal must identify the
document or portions thereof which contain the designated confidential
material and identify the party that has designated the material as
confidential (“the Designating Party”). The declaration must be served on
the Designating Party on the same day it is filed and a proof of such service
must also be filed.

Within 4 days of the filing of the Administrative Motion to File Under
Seal, the Designating Party must file a declaration as required by
subsection 79-5(d)(1)(A) establishing that all of the designated material
is sealable.
N.D. Civ. L.R. 79-5(e)(1).
Defendants have not filed a declaration in the time period required by the Local Rules.
Before the Court denies Plaintiff’s motion, the Court will provide the Defendants with one final

1

opportunity to establish that the documents are sealable, and Defendants must do more than cite

2

to the fact that the documents have been designated as confidential pursuant to a protective

3

order.

4

Accordingly, Defendants are HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by September

5

12, 2014, why the documents Plaintiff has lodged under seal should not be filed in the public

6

record. If Defendants do not file a declaration by that date, the Court shall deny Plaintiff’s

7

motion and shall order the documents to be electronically filed in the public record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
