United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No. 14-cv-04100-KAW

Re: Dkt. No. 353

10

SUTTER HEALTH, et al.,

11

Defendants.

12
On August 12, 2024, Relator filed a motion to consider whether another party’s material

13
14

should be sealed. (Re: Dkt. No. 353.) Relator sought to file under seal exhibits that were

15

identified by Defendant Sutter Health as being confidential. Per Civil Local Rule 79-5(f),

16

“[w]ithin 7 days of the motion’s filing, the Designating Party must file a statement and/or

17

declaration as described in subsection (c)(1).” Thus, the declaration of Defendant Sutter Health

18

was due by August 19, 2024.

19

To date, Defendant Sutter Health has not filed its statement and/or declaration.

20

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Defendant Sutter Health to show cause, by September 13, 2024,

21

why the exhibits should not be unsealed by: (1) filing a specific statement of the applicable legal

22

standard and the reasons for keeping a document under seal, which must comply with Civil Local

23

Rule 79-5(c), and (2) explaining why Defendant Sutter Health did not timely file its statement

24

and/or declaration. Failure to comply in full will result in the Court denying the motion and

25

ordering the exhibits unsealed. (See Civil Local Rule 79-5(f)(3) (“A failure to file a statement or

26

declaration may result in the unsealing of the provisionally sealed document without further notice

27

to the Designating Party.”), (6) (“Additionally, overly broad requests to seal may result in the

28

///

denial of the motion.”).)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 6, 2024
