Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:18-cv-00036-JCM-CWH

v.
CHRISTOPHER FAVA, et al.,
Defendants.

12

This matter is before the court on plaintiff’s motion for leave to file plaintiff’s reply in

13

support motion to dismiss defendant Jaime Monardes’ counterclaim under seal (ECF No. 56),

14

filed on June 14, 2018. Plaintiff argues that the reply contains excerpts from a confidential

15

separation agreement executed by both parties. The court finds that the confidential nature of an

16

agreement is not a compelling reason that outweighs the public’s right to access the document.

17

See Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006). The court

18

will therefore deny plaintiff’s motion to for leave to file its reply under seal.

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to file plaintiff’s reply in

20

support motion to dismiss defendant Jaime Monardes’ counterclaim under seal (ECF No. 56) is

21

DENIED.

23

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk’s office must unseal plaintiff’s motion to
dismiss (ECF No. 51), defendant’s response (ECF No. 53), and plaintiff’s reply (ECF No. 57).
