Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
SAMSUNG’S ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

1

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5 and 7-11, and General Order No. 62, Samsung Electronics

2 America, Inc. (“SEA”) and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (“STA”) (collectively
3 “Samsung”) hereby bring this administrative motion for a sealing order to seal the Declaration of
4 Eunha Kim In Support of Samsung’s Motion to Disqualify Bridges & Mavrakakis LLP and
5 attached Exhibits 1-3 (the “Kim Declaration”).
6

Samsung has established good cause to permit filing this information under seal through

7 the Declaration of Eunha Kim in Support of Samsung’s Administrative Motion to File Documents
8 Under Seal (the “Kim Administrative Declaration”), filed contemporaneously herewith. The Kim
9 Declaration as well as the attached Exhibits 1-3, contain detailed information regarding past
10 Samsung litigation and strategy as well as detailed billing records submitted by the attorneys from
11 Bridges & Mavrakakis while they were at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP. (“Kim Administrative
12 Declaration” at ¶ 3.) The declaration contains detailed descriptions of the tasks and strategies
13 undertaken by the former Kirkland & Ellis attorneys while representing Samsung. (Id.) This type
14 of detailed litigation strategy information is treated as highly confidential by Samsung and its
15 disclosure would harm future litigations. (Id.) Additionally, the billing records contain detailed
16 information regarding the tasks performed by the attorneys that would reveal highly confidential
17 information on how Samsung litigates claims of patent infringement. (Id.) In fact, it is precisely
18 this type of information that Samsung is concerned will be disclosed by attorneys at Bridges &
19 Mavrakakis if they are not disqualified as counsel for Apple.
20

Accordingly, Samsung respectfully requests that the Court order that the Kim Declaration

21 and Exhibits 1-3 to the Kim Declaration be filed under seal.
