As grounds for this motion, Elan states that portions of Elan’s Motion to Compel, the
10
Rathinasamy Declaration, and the DeBruine Declaration constitute, disclose information contained
11
in, or derived from, documents designated by Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) as “Confidential − Attorney
12
Eyes Only” pursuant to the Amended Protective Order in this matter. See Declaration of Palani P.
13
Rathinasamy In Support of Plaintiff Elan Microelectronics Corporation’s Administrative Motion
14
To File Papers Under Seal filed concurrently herewith. In accordance with Civil Local Rule 79-5,
15
for these partially redacted documents, only the minimum and necessary redactions have been
16
made to protect sealable information. In addition, Elan states that Exhibits C-P to the
17
Rathinasamy Declaration constitute, disclose information contained in, or derived from,
18
documents designated by Apple as “Confidential − Attorney Eyes Only” pursuant to the Amended
19
Protective Order in this matter. These exhibits predominately consist of sealable information such
20
that it may be appropriate to seal the entire document rather than requiring submission of a heavily
21
redacted document that would not substantially further the policy of providing public access to,
22
and understanding of, court proceedings. See id.
23
24
For the reasons stated above, the Court should grant Elan leave to file the above identified
documents either partially or entirely under seal.
