1 The holding of this court is limited to the facts and the particular circumstances

underlying the present motion.

2 Removing briefs from the court’s official file is, at a minimum, inconsistent with the

public’s right of access to court documents. See, e.g., San Jose Mercury News, Inc. v. U.S. Dist. Ct., 187

F.3d 1096, 1101-03 (9th Cir. 1999) (public has federal common-law right of access to court records in

civil cases).
