THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Defendant Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.’s Motions
to Seal Confidential Documents. Dkt. #136, 144. Defendant’s motion to seal Exhibit 5 to the
Declaration of Aaron Brecher re. D&B’s Motion for Summary Judgment, and Exhibit 5 to the
Declaration of Gregg Harting Submitted in Support of D&B’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED. Dkt. #136.
Defendant’s motion to seal Exhibit 10 to its Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs (“Fee
Motion”) and the unredacted version of the Fee Motion does not state why this information
should be filed under seal. Dkt. #144. Defendant does not consider any of this information
confidential, but filed the Motion because Plaintiff may wish to designate it as confidential in the
future. The Motion does not contain “a specific statement of the applicable legal standard and
the reasons for keeping a document under seal,” as required by Local Rule 5(g).
W.D. Wash. Local Rules LCR 5(g).

As such, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause why this information should be

2

kept under seal by August 29, 2017. If Plaintiff fails to do so, Defendant’s Motion (Dkt. #144)

3

will be denied.
