ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

17
In the above action, the parties have filed a significant portion of the pleadings under seal,
18
including 18 of 22 pages of the first amended complaint. Defendant Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”)
19
moved to dismiss all of the claims alleged in the first amended complaint and the court held a public
20
hearing on the motion on December 13, 2011 without any request by either party to close the
21
courtroom. Because the court is prepared to rule on the motion by written order, the parties are no
22
longer engaged in a business relationship, any redaction of the order imposes a burden on the court,
23
and the public has an interest in knowing the work of this taxpayer-funded institution,
24
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than January 6, 2012, the parties are ordered to
25
show cause why any portion of an order on the pending motion must remain under seal. The parties’
26
briefs – which may be submitted by filed letters to the court – shall be no longer than 3
