IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

MARK BENNING, et al., 

 Defendants. 

_________________________________/ 

No. C 09-03814 RS 

ORDER DENYING STIPULATION TO 

SEAL PARTIALLY FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT 

 On April 16, 2010, the parties filed a stipulation to seal certain paragraphs in the First 

Amended Complaint (“FAC”). The parties reference paragraphs 39, 48 and 54 in their stipulation; 

these paragraphs allege income information concerning defendants Benning, Patterson and Strober. 

While defendants cite to the general right of privacy grounded in the California Constitution, this is 

not a sufficient basis to seal the information contained in the referenced paragraphs in this court. 

Materials filed in the docket of the federal court are presumptively available for public review. 

Therefore, plaintiffs shall file the unsealed FAC on or before April 20, 2010. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: 04/19/2010
