TRENT WEST,
INTERIM ORDER RE MOTION TO
SEAL AND STIPULATION TO REMOVE
DOCUMENTS FROM THE DOCKET
Plaintiff,
v.
14
QUALITY GOLD, INC.,
15
Defendant.
/
16
17
Plaintiff Trent West requests that Exhibit 5 to his Discovery Dispute Joint Report #1
18
(Dkt. No. 22) be filed under seal because the document contains information that defendant
19
Quality Gold, Inc. (Quality Gold) claims is confidential. Relatedly, the parties have jointly
20
requested that several filings be expunged from ECF because they contain that same
21
information.
22
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d), Quality Gold must file declaration(s) establishing
23
that the information is sealable. Although defense counsel has submitted a declaration stating
24
that the information has been designated confidential, the mere designation of information
25
pursuant to a stipulation or blanket protective order will not justify sealing. CIV. L.R. 79-5(a).
26
Accordingly, no later than June 21, 2012, Quality Gold shall file declaration(s) from
27
appropriate person(s) showing why sealing is warranted. Quality Gold must establish that the
28
subject information is privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to
1
2
3
protection under the law. Id.
SO ORDERED.
