PLAINTIFFS’ ADMIN. MOTION TO SEAL
CASE NO. 13-CV-05996-PJH (MEJ)

1

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11 and 79-5(c) and (d), Plaintiffs respectfully request an

2

order from the Court authorizing the filing under seal of portions of Plaintiffs’ Response to

3

Defendant’s Objection to and Request to Strike New Evidence and Misstatements of Fact

4

(“Response”), attached, with yellow highlighting to indicate where redactions are proposed, as

5

Exhibit A to the accompanying Gardner Declaration. A redacted version of the Response is

6

attached as Exhibit B.

7

Plaintiffs seek an order to seal the designated portions of the Response on the grounds that

8

they contain information that Defendant has designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” or

9

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Plaintiffs take no position on

10

whether the text designated in Exhibit A satisfies the requirements for sealing, and specifically

11

reserve the right to challenge any “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

12

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” designation.

13

As the party seeking protection, Defendant “bears the burden of showing specific

14

prejudice or harm will result if no protective order is granted.” Real Action Paintball, Inc. v.

15

Advanced Tactical Ordnance Sys., LLC, No. 14-2435, 2015 WL 1534049, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Apr.

16

2, 2015). Pursuant to this Court’s Standing Order for Cases Involving Confidential Documents,

17

Defendant must show good cause for sealing the documents upon which it has placed a

18

confidentiality designation by submitting a declaration within seven days after the lodging of the

19

designated documents. See also Civil Local Rule 79-5(e).
