UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. IMMERSION CORPORATION, Defendant. This matter comes before the Court on "Plaintiff's Motion to File Exhibits B, I, J, K, L, M, P, & Q Under Seal" (Dkt. #25), "Plaintiff's Motion to File Exhibit 1 Under Seal" (Dkt. #33), and defendant "Immersion Corporation's Motion to File Under Seal Certain Supporting Documents" (Dkt. #29). The parties respectively seek to seal exhibits related to an underlying motion to disqualify that is pending before this Court on the grounds that the exhibits all contain sensitive financial, business, and confidential information. Each motion is unopposed. In addition, each party has 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 Exhibits B, I, J, K, L, M, P, & Q Under Seal" (Dkt. #25), "Plaintiff's Motion to File Exhibit 1 Under Seal" (Dkt. #33), and defendant "Immersion Corporation's Motion to File Under Seal Certain Supporting Documents" (Dkt. #29) are GRANTED. The parties have adequately justified sealing the exhibits, overcoming the strong CASE NO. C07-936RSM ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS TO SEAL AND DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SEAL
