United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

The Court hereby GRANTS the parties’ joint administrative motion (ECF 152) requesting

12

that the Court seal in part its Order Denying Petitioner’s Motion for Relief from Non-Dispositive

13

Order of Magistrate Judge Cousins Re CDCR’s Motion to Quash Subpoena (ECF 150), which was

14

filed conditionally under seal on January 27, 2017.

15

A party moving to seal judicial records that are filed in connection with a non-dispositive

16

motion must satisfy the “good cause” standard of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c).

17

Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180 (9th Cir. 2006). In this district, a

18

party moving to seal judicial records also must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5, which requires

19

that a sealing request be “narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” Civil L.R.

20

79-5(b). Here, the parties have shown good cause for sealing portions of the Order and their

21

request is narrowly tailored to leave as much information as possible available to the public.

22
23
24

The Clerk shall file a public, redacted version of the Order which redacts the text identified
in the parties’ joint administrative motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
