Case No. 2:13-cv-02274-JCM-GWF
ORDER

12

This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s request to seal documents attached to

13

Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion to Compel (ECF No. 89). See Opposition to Motion to Compel (ECF

14

No. 91), pg. 2. Defendant asserts that Plaintiffs have violated the agreed upon protective order by

15

attaching all of the documents disclosed in Defendant’s Fourteenth and Fifteenth Supplements to

16

their FRCP 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures. Id. These documents were attached to Plaintiff’s

17

Emergency Motion to Compel as Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 10. Id. Based on Defendant’s

18

representations and review of the documents, the Court finds that the documents fall within the

19

purview of the protective order and should not have been filed on the open record because they are

20

confidential and proprietary in nature. Thus, the Court finds that Defendant has presented sufficient

21

good cause to warrant an order from the Court sealing Exhibits 3 and 10 to Plaintiff’s Emergency

22

Motion to Compel. Accordingly,

23
24
25

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to seal Exhibit 3 and
Exhibit 10 attached to Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion to Compel (ECF No. 89).
DATED this 17th day of August, 2016.
