[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING 

DEFENDANT MICROSOFT 

CORPORATION’S ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL ITS 

DAUBERT MOTION TO EXCLUDE 

TESTIMONY OF LOOKSMART’S 

DAMAGES EXPERT, MICHAEL J. 

LASINSKI AND EXHIBIT A TO THE 

CHEN DECLARATION IN SUPPORT 

THEREOF

On May 14, 2019, Defendant Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) filed a Motion for 

Administrative Relief with this Court, pursuant to this Court’s Standing Order and Civil Local 

Rule 79-5 for permission to file under seal its Daubert Motion to Exclude Testimony of 

LookSmart’s Damages Expert, Michael J. Lasinski and Exhibit A to the Chen Declaration in 

Support Thereof. 

Microsoft has shown each of those documents is “privileged, protectable as a trade secret 

or otherwise entitled to protection under the law.” Civil L.R. 79-5(b). Moreover, Microsoft has 

shown “compelling reasons” to rebut the presumption of access to judicial records for each of 

those documents. Both documents “might be used . . . as sources of business [or technical]

information that might harm [Microsoft’s] competitive standing.” Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler
