pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 of the Local Rules of Practice. On February

documentation and testimony that is confidential, proprietary, or private information for which
23
special protection from public disclosure is warranted. Mar. 1, 2017 Order (ECF No. 35) (granting
24
Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order (ECF No. 33)).

The court has considered the Motions, Plaintiffs’ Response (ECF No. 140), CCSD’s Reply
26
(ECF No. 141), and the representations of defense counsel at the status check. Having reviewed
27
and considered the matter in accordance with the Ninth Circuit’s directives set forth in Kamakana
28
v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006), the court finds that CCSD has met

1
its burden of establishing good cause for these documents to remain sealed.
