“good cause” shall include an objectively reasonable concern that the Person will,
11
advertently or inadvertently, use or disclose Protected Materials in a way or ways
12
that are inconsistent with the provisions contained in the Protective Order. In the

Local Rule 7.1 seeking permission from the Court to do so. Any such motion must
22
describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons why the
23
disclosure to the Person is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the
24
disclosure would entail, and suggest any additional means that could be used to
25
reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent
26
declaration describing the Parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e.,
