Case No. 2:15-cv-01457-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 99)

15

Pending before the Court is Aetna’s motion to seal. Docket No. 99. Aetna filed a supplement.

16

Docket No. 110 at 3. Valley Health filed a response, partially in support of the motion and partially in

17

opposition of the motion. Docket No. 114. Aetna filed a reply. Docket No. 116. The Court hereby

18

SETS this motion for hearing for 3:00 p.m. on January 18, 2017, in Courtroom 3D.

19

The Court will hear argument on the motion generally. Nonetheless, counsel shall ensure they

20

are prepared to address case law from within the Ninth Circuit specifically addressing whether the

21

compelling reason or good cause standard applies to the pending motion. Cf. Center for Auto Safety v.

22

Chrysler Group, LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1101 (9th Cir. 2016), cert. denied, 137 S.Ct. 38 (2016) (clarifying

23

that the classification of a motion as “dispositive” or “non-dispositive” turns on “whether the motion

24

at issue is more than tangentially related to the underlying cause of action”).

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
