CHORDIANT SOFTWARE, INC., STEVEN R. SPRINGSTEEL, and DEREK P. WITTE, Defendants. /

Defendants move to seal (1) Exhibits B-D to the Declaration of Jedediah Wakefield filed in support of defendants' reply brief re their "Motion to Compel Plaintiffs to Allow Access to Archived Web Pages" and (2) portions of the Wakefield Declaration that discuss those exhibits. Sealing is requested because plaintiffs reportedly claim that the information in question is confidential. Plaintiffs, however, have not filed a declaration establishing that the information is sealable as required by Civil Local Rule 79-5. Although the information in question could be made a part of the public record, see Civ. L.R. 79-5(d), the court will give plaintiffs another opportunity to explain why sealing is warranted. Accordingly, no later than October 19, 2009, plaintiffs shall file declaration(s) by appropriate person(s) establishing that the designated information is sealable. SO ORDERED. Dated: October 15, 2009 HOWARD R. LLOYD
