NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SYMANTEC CORPORATION, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ZSCALER, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 17-cv-04414-JST (TSH)

ORDER REGARDING MOTION TO 

SEAL

Re: Dkt. No. 212

In ECF No. 212, Symantec moved to seal portions of a joint discovery letter brief, as well 

as portions of Exhibit A and the entirety of Exhibit B to the Shomaker Declaration, on the ground 

that Zscaler had designated that information as confidential. Zscaler responds that it does not want 

any part of the joint discovery letter brief or Exhibit B filed under seal. However, Zscaler does 

contend that the redactions to Exhibit A are appropriate because they relate to the employment 

history of a non-party, which is private information. The Court agrees. Accordingly, Symantec’s 

motion to seal at ECF No. 212 is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The redactions 

to Exhibit A to the Shomaker Declaration are appropriate. However, no part of the joint discovery 

letter brief or Exhibit B to the Shomaker Declaration may be filed under seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
