FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES, LLC, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

COOK INCORPORATED, et al.

Defendants. /

No. C 03-03817 JSW

ORDER TO PLAINTIFFS TO

SHOW CAUSE WHY EXHIBIT

SHOULD NOT BE FILED IN THE

PUBLIC RECORD

On March 7, 2008, Defendant W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. filed a request for a sealing

order pursuant to Northern District Civil Local Rule 79-5(d), in which it seeks to file under seal

documents designated confidential by Plaintiffs, specifically Exhibits F, G, M, N, O, P and Q to

the Declaration of Gerard A. Haddad in Support of Defendant W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc.’s

Reply in Support of Its Motion for Leave to File an Amended Answer to Plaintiffs’ Second

Amended Complaint.

Pursuant to Rule 79-5(d), when such a request is made, within five (5) days thereafter,

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

designated information is sealable.” If the designating fails to file such a declaration, “the

document or proposed filing will be made part of the public record.”

Plaintiffs declaration was due to be filed on March 14, 2008, but has not yet been filed. 

Accordingly, Plaintiffs are HEREBY ORDERED to file a declaration establishing cause for

sealing the above mentioned exhibits by no later than March 19, 2008. If Plaintiffs fail to

comply with this Order, the Court shall deny Gore’s motion and shall order the Exhibits filed in

the public record. The Court also notes that this is the last time it will remind any party to this

IT IS SO ORDERED.
