Upon consideration of Western Digital’s Unopposed Administrative Motion for Leave to

1
2

File Under Seal Documents Submitted in Support of Western Digital’s Motion to Compel

3

Production of Documents (D.I. 190) (“Administrative Motion”), the documents subject to Western

4

Digital’s Administrative Motion, and the Declaration of Anne M. Rogaski in support of Western

5

Digital’s Administrative Motion, the Court finds there to be good cause for granting in part

6

Western Digital’s request to file the following documents under seal:

7
1.

8
9
10

Woodhouse in Support of Western Digital’s Motion to Compel Production of Documents (D.I.

2.

12

Portions of Exhibits 10, 14, 18, and 20 to the Declaration of Michelle P.

The entirety of Exhibits 7, 15, 17, 21, 22, 23, 27, and 28 to the Woodhouse

Declaration.

13
In making the finding that good causes exists for sealing the records above, the Court

14
15

makes the following additional findings in support thereof:
1.

16

GTE possesses an overriding confidentiality interest that overcomes the right of

17

public access to portions of Exhibits 10, 14, 18, and 20 to the Woodhouse Declaration, and the

18

entirety of Exhibits 7, 15, 17, 21, 22, 23, 27, and 28 of the Woodhouse Declaration;
2.

19
20

GTE does not allege a confidentiality interest in the remaining documents subject

to Western Digital’s Administrative Motion;

21

3.

GTE’s overriding confidentiality interest support sealing the record;

22

4.

A substantial probability exists that GTE’s overriding confidentiality interest will

23

be prejudiced if the records are not sealed;

24

5.

The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored; and

25

6.

No less-restrictive means exist to achieve this overriding interest.
