St. Paul Mercury Insurance Company ("St. Paul") moves to file under seal a portion of its

19

opposition to Tessera, Inc.'s ("Tessera") Motion for Partial Summary Judgement. A request to seal

20

must establish that the document, or portions thereof, is privileged or protectable as a trade secret or

21

otherwise entitled to protection under the law. Civ. L. R. 79-5(a). The request must be narrowly

22

tailored to seek sealing of only sealable material. Id.

23

St. Paul has represented that it seeks to file portions of its opposition under seal because the

24

material contained therein has been designated "Confidential" pursuant to the Stipulated Protective

25

Order dated July 11, 2012 (ECF No. 20 ¶¶ 2, 9), and the parties have agreed that the information

26

should be filed under seal. Having reviewed the material that St. Paul seeks to file under seal, the

27

court finds that St. Paul has submitted a narrowly tailored request to file under seal only those

portions of the documents that are sealable material. The court therefore grants St. Paul's motion to

seal as requested, and places the redacted version of the filing in the public docket.
