KENNETH E. SMITH,

Plaintiff,

vs.

CITIFINANCIAL RETAIL SERVICES et

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 3:06-cv-02966 BZ

[PROPOSED] ORDER MAKING

EXHIBITS 11 AND 12 PART OF THE

PUBLIC RECORD

On May 14, 2007, in accordance with Local Rule 79-5(d), plaintiff filed and served an

Administrative Motion to File Under Seal certain documents which defendant CitiFinancial

Retail Services had marked “confidential” during discovery. Plaintiff had attached those

documents as Exhibits 11 and 12 to the declaration of Andrew J. Ogilvie in Support of Plaintiff’s

Motion for Attorneys’ Fees. CitiFinancial stamped them with the following Bates numbers:

Exhibit 11 consists of:

Citi/S 0268 through Citi/S 0270 and

Citi/S 0279 through Citi/S 0280.

Exhibit 12 consists of:

Citi/S 0282 through Citi/S 0291.

Smith v. CitiFinancial Retail Services, N.D.Cal. case 3:06-cv-02966 BZ

[Proposed] Order Making Exhibits 11 and 12 Part of the Public Record

Plaintiff’s Administrative Motion shows that copies of Exhibits 11 and 12 were delivered to

CitiFinancial’s counsel on May 14, 2007. Plaintiff lodged copies of Exhibits 11 and 12 with the

Clerk’s office on May 15, 2007.

 Local Rule 79-5(d) provides that when a party wishes to file a document that has been

designated confidential by another party pursuant to a protective order, the submitting party must

file an Administrative Motion and lodge the document with the Clerk, as plaintiff has done here. 

Local Rule 79-5(d) further provides that “within five days thereafter, the designating

party must file with the Court and serve a declaration establishing that the designated

information is sealable....” If the designating party fails to file a responding declaration within

the five days allowed, the Rule provides that “the document... will be made part of the public

record.” Id.

More than five days have passed since plaintiff filed the Administrative Motion under

Local Rule 79-5(d) and lodged Exhibits 11 and 12 with the Clerk. CitiFinancial has not filed any

responsive declaration. Consequently Exhibits 11 and 12 are now part of the public record.

Counsel for plaintiff is ordered to file in the public record copies of those exhibits as soon as

reasonably possible.
