BRAR; RAKESH GUPTA; PRAVANJAN CHOUDHURY; SUBRAT PANDA; ANIMESH NASKAR, Defendants. MANDANA D. FARHANG and M.A. MOBILE, Plaintiffs, ORDER REGARDING MOTION TO SEAL No. C-08-02658 RMW IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION E-FILED on 7/9/10

[Re Docket No. 146]

Plaintiffs move to file under seal Exhibits S1 to S6 to the Third Amended Complaint. A request to seal must establish that the document, or portions thereof, is privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. Civ. L. R. 79-5(a). The request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing of only sealable material. Id. Having reviewed the material that plaintiffs seek to file under seal, the court has concerns about the extent of material which plaintiffs seek to file under seal. There does not appear to be a basis for filing the entirety of Exhibit S5 or any portion of Exhibit S6 under seal. The court

therefore orders plaintiffs to either explain why all of the designated material is sealable or to submit a narrowly tailored request to file under seal only those portions of the documents that are sealable material. If plaintiffs do not submit a satisfactory explanation or an appropriately narrowly tailored request within ten days, the motion to seal will be denied.
