NOTICE OF MOTION TO SEAL PORTIONS OF GOOGLE INC.’S OPPOSITION TO

SUPPORT OF GOOGLE INC.’S OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT Defendant Google Inc. (“Google”), by counsel,
pursuant to Rule 5 of the Local Rules of Practice for the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia and the Protective Order [Dkt. No. 85] entered in this matter, has
moved the Court for leave to file under seal (1) Portions of Google Inc.’s Opposition to
Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Production of Custodial Documents (“Portions of Google’s
Opposition”); (2) Portions of the Declaration of Kristin Zmrhal in Support of Google Inc.’s
Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Production of Custodial Documents (“Portions of the
Zmrhal Declaration”); and (3) Exhibits H, O, Q, R, S and U to the Declaration of Emily C.
O’Brien in Support of Google Inc.’s Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Production of
Custodial Documents (“Certain Exhibits to the O’Brien Declaration”). Grounds and authorities
for this Motion are set forth in Google’s Memorandum in Support of Motion to Seal. Portions of
Google’s Opposition and Certain Exhibits to the Zmrhal Declaration contain confidential
information and, under the Protective Order (Dkt. No. 85), should be filed under seal.
Before this Court may seal Court documents, it must: (1) provide public notice with an
opportunity to object; (2) consider less drastic alternatives; and (3) state specific findings in
support of a decision to seal and reject alternatives to sealing. See, e.g., Flexible Benefits
Council v. Feldman, No. 1:08-CV-371, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93039 (E.D. Va. Nov. 13, 2008)
(citing Ashcroft v. Conoco, Inc., 218 F.3d 282, 288 (4th Cir. 2000)).
In compliance with Local Rule 5 of the Rules of this Court and Ashcroft, the Court posts
the following notice to the public: “This serves as public notice that Google, Inc. has moved to
file under seal Portions of Google’s Opposition and Certain Exhibits to the Zmrhal Declaration.
Objections to this Motion should be filed in the Civil Section of the Clerk’s Office. The Notice
will be posted for a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours.”
