AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

1

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

1

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5, Plaintiff Elan Microelectronics Corporation

2

(“Elan”) hereby requests leave of Court to file under seal portions or the entirety of the following

3

documents which have been lodged with the Clerk:

4

1.

Supplemental Declaration of Robert Dezmelyk in Support of Elan’s Reply to

5

Apple’s Opposition to Elan’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement (partially

6

sealed);

7

2.

8

As grounds for this motion, Elan states that the redacted portions of the Supplemental

9

Exhibit A to the Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy (filed under seal).

Declaration of Robert Dezmelyk discloses information that is derived from documents that Apple

10

has marked as “Confidential − Attorney Eyes Only” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only –

11

Source Code” pursuant to the Amended Protective Order in this matter and confidential

12

communications between Elan and Apple regarding Apple’s infringement of the 352 patent. See

13

Declaration of Palani P. Rathinasamy in Support of Plaintiff Elan Microelectronics Corporation’s

14

Administrative Motion to File Under Seal filed concurrently herewith. In accordance with Civil

15

Local Rule 79-5, for these partially redacted documents, only minimum and necessary redactions

16

are made to protect sealable information.

17

Elan further states that Exhibit A to the Rathinasamy Declaration constitutes a document

18

designated by Apple as “Confidential − Attorney Eyes Only” pursuant to the Amended Protective

19

Order in this matter and contains internal communications between Apple employees. See id.

20

This exhibit predominately consists of sealable information such that it may be appropriate to seal

21

the entire document rather than requiring submission of a heavily redacted document that would

22

not substantially further the policy of providing public access to, and understanding of, court

23

proceedings.

24

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, Apple must file with the Court and serve a declaration

25

establishing that its designated information is sealable, and must lodge and serve a narrowly

26

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

27
28

For the reasons stated above, the Court should grant Elan leave to file the above identified
ELAN’S ADMIN. MOT. TO FILE UNDER SEAL SUPP. DECL. OF
