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

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 Defendants have moved to
file under seal Defendants’ Opposition Brief and Certain Exhibits to the O’Brien 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.”
