UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. IMMERSION CORPORATION, Defendant. This matter comes before the Court on three separate motions to seal brought by the parties. (See Dkts. #70, #84 and #87). The parties seek to seal exhibits related to a discovery motion filed by Plaintiff on April 17, 2008. (Dkt. #72). Both parties move to seal the relevant documents in this Court on the grounds that the exhibits contain sensitive and confidential information. The parties have already filed the exhibits under seal. Having reviewed the motions, and the remainder of the record, the Court hereby finds and orders: (1) "Plaintiff's Motion to File Exhibit B to the Declaration of Wendy E. Lyon Under Seal" (Dkt. #70), "Immersion Corporation's Motion to File Under Seal Certain Supporting Documents" (Dkt. #84), and "Plaintiff's Motion to File Exhibit A to the Declaration of Wendy E. Lyon Under Seal" (Dkt. #87) are GRANTED. The parties have adequately justified sealing the exhibits, overcoming the strong presumption in favor of public access. See Local Rule CR 5(g)(2). Accordingly, the exhibits shall remain SEALED. CASE NO. C07-936RSM ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS TO SEAL
