Case No.: 12-CV-01828-LHK
ORDER RE: SEALING MOTION

On May 8, 2013, Plaintiff filed an Administrative Motion to File Under Seal (Dkt. No. 58).

17

In the Motion, Plaintiff requests sealing of certain documents that were designated “confidential”

18

by Defendant when produced. Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(d), when a party moves to seal

19

documents designated as sealable by another party, the designating party must file a supporting

20

declaration within 7 days, or the sealing motion will be denied. No supporting declaration was

21

filed by Defendant in response to Plaintiff’s Sealing Motion.

22

As noted in the Stipulated Protective Order (Dkt. No.37), simply designating information as

23

confidential does not entitle the parties to file it under seal. See Stipulated Protective Order, ¶ 1. If

24

Defendant objects to the public filing of the documents identified in Plaintiff’s Sealing Motion, it

25

shall file a declaration stating the basis for asserting confidentiality of each exhibit Plaintiff seeks

26

to seal. These declarations must be filed by May 22, 2013. If no declarations are received, the

27

Court will order the relevant documents to be publicly filed without sealing.

Case No.: 12-CV-01828-LHK
ORDER RE: SEALING MOTION

1

In the future, failure to follow the local rules and to submit declarations in support of

2

motions to seal will result in denial of sealing motions and public filing of documents without

3

notice from the Court.

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
