Case No.: 12-CV-00630-LHK
ORDER GRANTING ADMINISTRATIVE
MOTIONS TO SEAL

Before the Court are the parties’ administrative motions to seal briefing and exhibits in

20

connection with Samsung’s motion seeking approval of its supersedeas bond and motion to stay

21

execution of judgment, ECF Nos. 2080, 2082, and Apple’s opposition to Samsung’s motion to

22

shorten time, ECF No. 2086.

23

In the instant motions, the parties narrowly tailor their requests to seal only numbers that

24

reflect at a minimum confidential sales numbers. The Federal Circuit has held that confidential

25

sales numbers are sealable. Accordingly, the Court grants the parties’ sealing motions under either

26

the “good cause” or “compelling reasons” standards set forth in Kamakana v. City & County of

27

Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006), In re Electronic Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569

28

(9th Cir. 2008), and Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., 727 F.3d 1214, 1228-29 (Fed. Cir. 2013).
