Case No. 2:16-cv-02866-RFB-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 44)

16

Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs’ motion to seal, Docket No. 44, and a supplement thereto,

17

Docket Nos. 50-51. The motion to seal relates to an underlying discovery motion, and the Court applies

18

the “good cause” standard to determine whether the exhibits at issue should be kept secret from the

19

public. See The Center for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Group, LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1097 (9th Cir. 2016).

20

Equifax has filed a declaration explaining that the exhibits at issue contain proprietary information, the

21

release of which would put it at a competitive disadvantage. See Docket No. 51-2. For good cause

22

shown, the motion to seal is GRANTED, and the Clerk’s Office is INSTRUCTED to maintain under

23

seal Docket Nos. 42-8, 43, and 46.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
