Case No. 2:16-cv-01898-APG-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Under
Seal (ECF No. 94), filed on September 22, 2017.
Plaintiff requests leave to file unredacted exhibits attached to Defendants’ third motion for

14

summary judgment under seal and for Defendants to file a redacted version of the exhibits in the

15

public record. Plaintiff represents that the exhibits are a licensing agreement and a nunc pro tunc

16

agreement that contain proprietary trade secret information such as pricing terms, royalty rates, and

17

guaranteed minimum payment terms. To justify sealing documents attached to dispositive motions,

18

a party is required to present articulable facts identifying the interests favoring continuing secrecy

19

and show that these specific interests overcome the presumption of public access by outweighing

20

the public’s interests in understanding the judicial process. Kamakana v. City and County of

21

Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1181 (9th Cir. 2006). The Court finds that Plaintiff has met its burden

22

here and grants leave to file the unredacted exhibits under seal. Defendants shall filed a redacted

23

version on the public record. Accordingly,
