Plaintiffs’ Melanie Tucker, Somtai Troy Charoensak and Mariana Rosen (collectively,

2 “plaintiffs”) respectfully submit this Administrative Motion for leave to file under seal portions of
3 Plaintiffs’ Daubert Motion to Exclude Certain Opinion Testimony of Kevin M. Murphy and Robert
4 H. Topel and Exhibits 1-10 to the Declaration of Bonny E. Sweeney in Support of Plaintiffs’
5 Daubert Motion to Exclude Certain Opinion Testimony of Kevin M. Murphy and Robert H. Topel
6 (“Sweeney Daubert Declaration”). Specifically, plaintiffs seek leave to file under seal: Exhibit 1,
7 the Declaration of Jeffrey M. Wooldridge in Support of Plaintiffs’ Daubert Motion to Exclude
8 Certain Opinion Testimony of Robert H. Topel and Kevin M. Murphy; Exhibit 2, Declaration of
9 Roger G. Noll on Liability and Damages; Exhibit 3, Corrections to Declaration of Roger G. Noll on
10 Liability and Damages; Exhibit 4, Rebuttal Declaration of Roger G. Noll on Liability and Damages;
11 Exhibit 5, Expert Report of Kevin M. Murphy (Amended); Exhibit 6, Expert Report of Robert H.
12 Topel (Amended); Exhibit 7, Supplemental Declaration of Augustin Farrugia, dated July 2, 2013;
13 Exhibit 8, Excerpts from the December 18, 2013 Deposition Transcript of Professor Roger G. Noll;
14 Exhibit 9, Excerpts from the November 8, 2013 Deposition Transcript of Robert Topel, Ph.D.; and
15 Exhibit 10, Excerpts from the November 12, 2013 Deposition Transcript of Kevin Murphy,. Ph.D.
16 Plaintiffs bring this motion pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5 and the June 13, 2007
17 Stipulated Protective Regarding Confidential Information (“Protective Order”).
18

Portions of Plaintiffs’ Daubert Motion to Exclude Certain Opinion Testimony of Kevin M.

19 Murphy and Robert H. Topel and Exhibits 1-10 attached to the Sweeney Daubert Declaration are
20 being lodged with the Court. The documents refer to information and quote documents produced
21 and designated “Confidential” in this action by defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”).
22

The Protective Order requires that the parties file a request to seal any discovery they submit

23 to the Court that is designated “Confidential.” Protective Order, ¶7. Although plaintiffs do not
24 necessarily believe it is critical to seal the designated documents and information from the public
25 record, especially in light of the ‘“compelling reasons”’ test set forth by the Ninth Circuit in
26 Kamakona v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006), plaintiffs have filed the
27 instant motion so as to comply with the Protective Order.
