ORDER REGARDING SEALING

[Re: ECF No. 201, 202, 206, 209, 210, 217,
12
15
Case No. 22-cv-01045-BLF
Resume, Inc., and Stephen Zimmerman’s motion for summary judgment and motion to preclude
damages theory. ECF Nos. 201, 202, 206, 209, 210, 217, and 218. The Court has considered the
motions, and its rulings are laid out below.
I.
LEGAL STANDARD
“Historically, courts have recognized a ‘general right to inspect and copy public records
and documents, including judicial records and documents.’” Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of
Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435
U.S. 589, 597 & n.7 (1978)). Consequently, access to motions and their attachments that are
“more than tangentially related to the merits of a case” may be sealed only upon a showing of
“compelling reasons” for sealing. Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092,
1101–02 (9th Cir. 2016). Filings that are only tangentially related to the merits may be sealed
upon a lesser showing of “good cause.” Id. at 1097.
In addition, in this district, all parties requesting sealing must comply with Civil Local
Rule 79-5. That rule requires, inter alia, the moving party to provide “the reasons for keeping a
1
document under seal, including an explanation of: (i) the legitimate private or public interests that
2
warrant sealing; (ii) the injury that will result if sealing is denied; and (iii) why a less restrictive
3
alternative to sealing is not sufficient.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(c)(1). Further, Civil Local Rule 79-5
4
requires the moving party to provide “evidentiary support from declarations where necessary.”
5
Civ. L.R. 79-5(c)(2). And the proposed order must be “narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable
6
material.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(c)(3).
Further, when a party seeks to seal a document because it has been designated as
United States District Court
Northern District of California
7
8
confidential by another party, the filing party must file an Administrative Motion to Consider
9
Whether Another Party’s Material Should be Sealed. Civ. L.R. 79-5(f). In that case, the filing
10
party need not satisfy the requirements of subsection (c)(1). Civ. L.R. 79-5(f)(1). Instead, the
11
party who designated the material as confidential must, within seven days of the motion’s filing,
12
file a statement and/or declaration that meets the requirements of subsection (c)(1). Civ. L.R. 79-
13
5(f)(3). A designating party’s failure to file a statement or declaration may result in the unsealing
14
of the provisionally sealed document without further notice to the designating party. Id. Any
15
party can file a response to that declaration within four days. Civ. L.R. 79-5(f)(4).
16
17
II.
DISCUSSION
Because the motions to seal pertain to a motion for summary judgment and motion to
18
preclude damages theory, the Court will apply the “compelling reasons” standard. See Kamakana,
19
447 F.3d at 1177. The Court will address each motion in turn.
20

22
A.
Defendants’ Administrative Motions to Consider Whether Another Party’s
Material Should be Sealed in Connection with Their Motion to Preclude
Damages Theory (ECF Nos. 201, 209)
Defendants filed an administrative motion to consider whether another party’s material
23
should be sealed in connection with their motion to preclude damages theory. ECF No. 201.
24
Defendants have identified portions of their motion to preclude damages theory and certain
25
exhibits in support of that motion as containing information designated by Plaintiff Bold Limited
26
as “highly confidential.” Id. at 2. Defendants later amended their motion to modify the redactions
27
to the motion to preclude damages theory. ECF No. 209. Bold filed a statement in support of
28
sealing that states that these documents contain confidential information “concerning Bold’s
2
United States District Court
Northern District of California
1
finances, internal competitive metrics, internal business strategies, and nonpublic corporate
2
structure.” ECF No. 215 ¶ 4. Bold also seeks to seal only narrow redactions to the documents.
3
Id. ¶ 3. No party has filed an opposition to Bold’s statement.
4
Compelling reasons exist to seal confidential business information, including non-public
5
information about a company’s business strategy, business transactions, corporate structure, and
6
finances. See Droplets, Inc. v. Yahoo! Inc., No. 12-CV-03733-JST, 2019 WL 9443777, at *3
7
(N.D. Cal. June 18, 2019) (finding compelling reasons to seal non-public information concerning
8
business transactions, corporate structure, and settlement agreements under the more stringent
9
compelling reasons standard); Unlockd Media, Inc. Liquidation Tr. v. Google LLC, No. 21-CV-
10
07250-HSG, 2022 WL 4624985, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 30, 2022) (finding compelling reasons to
11
seal non-public information related to a company’s business model); In re Google Location Hist.
12
Litig., No. 5:18-cv-05062-EJD, 514 F.Supp.3d 1147, 1162 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 25, 2021) (“Compelling
13
reasons may exist to seal ‘trade secrets, marketing strategies, product development plans, detailed
14
product-specific financial information, customer information, internal reports.’”); Fed. Trade
15
Comm’n v. Microsoft Corp., No. 23-CV-02880-JSC, 2023 WL 5186252, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 11,
16
2023) (finding compelling reasons to seal “[n]on-public sensitive financial information”); In re
17
Elec. Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2008) (finding sealable “business information that
18
might harm a litigant’s competitive standing”).
19
The Court finds compelling reasons to seal the information identified in the highlighted
20
portions proposed by Bold of Defendants’ motion to preclude damages theory and the exhibits
21
listed in the table below. These documents discuss non-public information about Bold’s corporate
22
structure and finances, which if released would cause Bold competitive harm. The Court further
23
finds that Bold’s requests to seal these documents are “narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable
24
material.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(c)(3).

Defendants have filed an administrative motion to file under seal that seeks to seal
highlighted portions of their motion to preclude damages theory and certain exhibits in support of
that motion. ECF No. 202. Defendants argue that this information should be kept under seal
because “[t]hese documents contain commercially sensitive information concerning [Defendants’]
finances, customers and subscribers, and internal business operations and strategies, which could
cause [Defendants] significant competitive harm if made public.” Id. at 4. No party has filed an
objection to the motion.
As stated above, compelling reasons exist to seal confidential business information,
including non-public information about a company’s business strategy, business transactions,
corporate structure, and finances. See Droplets, 2019 WL 9443777, at *3; Unlockd Media, Inc.
Liquidation Tr., 2022 WL 4624985, at *2; In re Google Location Hist. Litig., 514 F.Supp.3d at

The Court finds compelling reasons to seal the information identified in the highlighted
portions of Defendants’ motion to preclude damages theory and the exhibits listed in the table
below. These documents discuss non-public information about Defendants’ business operations
and finances, which if released would cause Defendants competitive harm. The Court further
finds that Defendants’ requests to seal these documents are “narrowly tailored to seal only the

Because the motions at ECF Nos. 201, 202, and 209 and the corresponding statement at ECF No.
215 seek to seal overlapping documents, the Court ORDERS Defendants to consolidate the
redactions identified at ECF Nos. 202 and 215 that the Court has approved and file redacted
versions of their motion to preclude damages theory and Exhibits D, E, G, H, I, and J on the public
docket within 7 days of the date of this Order.
C.
Defendants’ Administrative Motions to Consider Whether Another Party’s
Material Should Be Sealed in Connection with Their Motion for Summary
Judgment (ECF Nos. 206, 210)
Defendants filed an administrative motion to consider whether another party’s material
should be sealed in connection with their motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 206.
Defendants have identified portions of their motion for summary judgment and certain exhibits in
support of that motion as containing information designated by Bold as “highly confidential.” Id.
at 2. Defendants later amended their motion to modify the redactions to the motion for summary
judgment. ECF No. 210. Bold filed a statement that requests that highlighted portions of
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and Exhibit E as well as the entirety of Exhibits A and
D remain under seal because those documents include information “concerning Bold’s internal
business practices, finances, internal competitive metrics, internal business strategies, and
6
1
nonpublic corporate structure.” ECF No. 219 ¶ 4. Bold does not seek to seal the remainder of the
2
exhibits identified in Defendants’ motion. Id. ¶ 3. No party has filed an opposition to Bold’s
3
statement.

As stated above, compelling reasons exist to seal confidential business information,

9
The Court finds compelling reasons to seal the information identified in the highlighted
10
portions proposed by Bold of Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and Exhibit E. These
11
documents discuss non-public information about Bold’s corporate structure and finances, which if
12
released would cause Bold competitive harm. The Court further finds that Bold’s requests to seal
13
these documents are “narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable material.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(c)(3).
14
However, Bold’s request to seal the entirety of Exhibits A and D (an expert report and a set of
15
interrogatory responses) is not narrowly tailored because there are not compelling reasons to seal
16
all of the information in these documents.

Plaintiff’s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal in Connection with Its
Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Preclude Damages Theory (ECF No. 217)
Plaintiff has filed an administrative motion to file under seal that seeks to seal highlighted
portions of its opposition to Defendants’ motion to preclude damages theory and certain exhibits
in support of that opposition. ECF No. 217. Bold argues that these documents contain
information “relating to Bold’s business model, corporate organization, business transactions, and
finances.” Id. at 2. No party has filed an objection to the motion.
As stated above, compelling reasons exist to seal confidential business information,

Plaintiff’s Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Another Party’s
Material Should Be Sealed in Connection with Its Opposition to Defendants’
Motion to Preclude Damages Theory (ECF No. 218)
Bold filed an administrative motion to consider whether another party’s material should be
sealed in connection with its opposition to Defendants’ motion to preclude damages theory. ECF
No. 218. Bold has identified portions of its opposition and certain exhibits in support of the
opposition as containing information designated by Defendants as “highly confidential.” Id. at 2.
Defendants filed a statement that requests that highlighted portions of the Exhibits M, P, Q, and R
and the entirety of Exhibit T remain under seal because:
These materials contain commercially sensitive, highly confidential,
nonpublic, and closely guarded information regarding: (1) Rocket’s
finances, financial records, and business transactions; (2) Rocket’s
subscribers and customer information; (3) Rocket’s internal business
10
operations and strategies; and (4) Rocket’s internal competitive
metrics and the internal strategies Rocket uses to evaluate its
competitive position in the market.

DENIED as not narrowly
tailored.
Because the motions at ECF Nos. 217 and 218 and the corresponding statement at ECF No. 229
seek to seal overlapping documents, the Court ORDERS Bold to consolidate the redactions
identified at ECF Nos. 217 and 229 that the Court has approved and file redacted versions of their
opposition and Exhibits L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, and S on the public docket within 7 days of the date
of this Order. The above denial as to Exhibit T is WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Defendants filing a
renewed statement in support of sealing that includes narrow redactions.
