This matter is before the Court on Defendant Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.’s Motion for
Leave to File Under Seal (ECF No. 130), filed on June 3, 2016.
Defendant requests leave to file its Opposition to IGT’s Renewed Motion for Preliminary

21

Injunction (ECF No. 131) under seal pursuant to the stipulated Protective Order entered into by the

22

parties on August 31, 2015. See ECF No. 65. Defendant asserts that its Opposition cites to and

23

quotes from material that has been designated “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential” pursuant to

24

the terms of the Protective Order. See ECF No. 130. Furthermore, Defendant argues that good

25

cause exists to file the Opposition under seal because “[d]isclosure of the information contained in

26

the cited documents may put the parties at a competitive disadvantage in their dealings with third

27

parties.” Id. at pg. 2, lns. 27–28. Upon review, the Court finds good cause to allow Defendant’s

28

unredacted Opposition to be filed under seal. Accordingly,

No. 130) is granted.
DATED this 6th day of June, 2016.
