FORTINET, INC., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SOPHOS, INC., et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 13-cv-05831-EMC (DMR) 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SEAL 

Re: Dkt. No. 137 

Fortinet has filed a motion to seal (Docket No. 137) which seeks to file portions of the 

parties’ joint discovery letter (Docket No. 138) under seal. Fortinet notes that it does not claim 

that the material to be sealed is confidential. However, because Sophos believes the material is 

confidential, Fortinet brings this motion pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5(e). 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e), a party must file under seal a document designated as 

confidential by the opposing party or a document containing information so designated by an 

opposing party. “Within 4 days of the filing of the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, the 

Designating Party must file a declaration as required by subsection 79-5(d)(1)(A) establishing that 

all of the designated material is sealable.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(e)(1). “If the Designating Party does 

not file a responsive declaration as required by subsection 79-5(e)(1) and the Administrative 

Motion to File Under Seal is denied, the Submitting Party may file the document in the public 

record no earlier than 4 days, and no later than 10 days, after the motion is denied.” Civ. L.R. 79-

5(e)(2).
