ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION
(Re: Docket No. 239)
Defendants Venture Corporation, LTD and Cebelian Holding, Pte, LTD seek
17
reconsideration of this court’s order denying their motion to retroactively seal certain documents. 1
18
The burden to a party seeking reconsideration is high, and as a result courts rarely grant such
19
relief. 2 Venture fails to meet this burden. Venture does not explain how the court can seal
20
information on one part of the public docket, but leave the same information available to the public
21
on other parts of the docket. Plaintiff Fiteq, Inc. has the better of the argument. The motion is
22
DENIED.

a previous order, the rule offers an extraordinary remedy, to be used sparingly in the interests of
finality and conservation of judicial resources.” (quoting Kona Enterprises, Inc. v. Estate of
Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 890 (9th Cir. 2000))).
