I. INTRODUCTION

16

Pursuant to LCR 5(g)(2) and the protective order in this case, Dkt. # 68, plaintiffs will
17
file certain documents designated confidential under seal as exhibits D, E, and F to the
18
Supplemental Declaration of Clay M. Gatens in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary
19

20
those documents.

22

II. STIPULATED STATEMENT OF FACTS
The parties entered into a stipulated protective order, which the Court signed March 22,

23
2017. Dkt. Nos. 67, 68. The order permits parties to designate documents as confidential, Dkt.
24
# 68, p. 2 (¶ 2) and p. 4 (¶ 5.3), and to file confidential documents under seal in accordance with
25
STIPULATED MOTION TO FILE DOCUMENTS
UNDER SEAL - 1
2:16-cv-920 MJP

1
LCR 5(g). Id., p. 4.
2
On Wednesday, April 25, 2018, Plaintiffs’ counsel alerted defendant’s counsel that
3
plaintiffs intended to file materials from Safeguard’s master services agreements with two of its
4
clients – documents designated confidential pursuant to the protective order’s enumerated
5
categories of “master services agreements with clients,” and relatedly, “client list.” See Dkt. #
6
68, p. 2:2-5 (¶ 2(ii)-(iii)). The parties conferred pursuant to LCR 5(g)(1)(A) on Wednesday,
7
April 25, 2018, and on Thursday, April 26, 2018, to discuss and to explore alternatives to filing
8
documents under seal. Following several written communications, attorneys Devon Gray (for
9
plaintiffs) and Pamela DeVet (for defendant) conferred via telephone. The parties certify the
10
foregoing pursuant to LCR 5(g)(3)(A).
11
Plaintiffs do not challenge defendant’s confidentiality designations in connection with
12
the documents plaintiffs intend to file in support of their motion for class certification.
13
The Court previously granted the parties’ stipulated motion to seal other documents from
14
categories enumerated in the stipulated protective order. Dkt. # 89.
15
16

III. AUTHORITY
For the reasons set out in the Court’s Order sealing confidential documents, Dkt. # 89,

17
pp. 2-10, and the evidence cited therein including Dkt. # 85, good cause and compelling reasons
18
exist to seal Safeguard’s confidential master services agreements with its clients. The parties
19
jointly request that the Court grant this motion to seal those documents pursuant to the protective
20
order and the requirements of the local rules.
