Case No. 09-cv-01531 RS (PSG)

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5 and the Court’s June 1, 2011 Order Denying
2
Motion to Seal Without Prejudice (Dkt. No. 228), Plaintiff Elan Microelectronics Corporation
3
(“Elan”) hereby requests leave of Court to file under seal portions or the entirety of the following
4
documents which have been lodged with the Clerk:
5
1.
Exhibit B to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (partially redacted);
6
2.
Exhibit E to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (partially redacted);
7
3.
Exhibit F to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (partially redacted);

Exhibit G to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (partially redacted);

5.
Exhibit I to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (partially redacted);
10
6.
Exhibit L to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (filed under seal);
11
7.
Exhibit M to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (filed under seal).
12
As grounds for this motion, Elan states that the redacted portions of Exhibits B, E, F, G,
13
and I to the Rathinasamy Declaration disclose confidential information related to Apple’s internal
14
code names and the operation of Apple products that was derived from documents or testimony
15
that is designated by Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) as “Confidential − Attorneys’ Eyes Only” pursuant to
16
the Amended Protective Order in this matter or confidential information related to Elan’s products
17
or customer information. See Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy In Support of Plaintiff Elan
18
Microelectronics Corporation’s Renewed Administrative Motion To File Papers Under Seal filed
19
concurrently herewith. In accordance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, for these partially redacted
20
documents, only the minimum and necessary redactions have been made to protect sealable
21
information.
22
Elan states that Exhibits L (Apple circuit schematics) and M (Apple internal e-mail
23
correspondence) contain confidential information regarding the operation of Apple products.
24
These documents have been marked by Apple as “Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only”. These
25
exhibits predominately consist of sealable information such that it may be appropriate to seal the
26
entire document rather than requiring submission of a heavily redacted document that would not
27
substantially further the policy of providing public access to, and understanding of, court

6
tailored proposed sealing order, or must withdraw the designation of confidentiality.
