UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ILLINOIS UNION INSURANCE 

COMPANY, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-04863-JST 

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO 

TERMINATE ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTIONS TO FILE UNDER SEAL

Re: ECF Nos. 123, 124

The Court directs the Clerk of the Court to terminate the administrative motions to file 

under seal at docket numbers 123 and 124. The Motions fail to comply with this Court’s Standing 

Order Governing Administrative Motions to File Under Seal (cand.uscourts.gov/jstorders), as well 

as the Local Rules. In particular, the Court notes that Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(A) provides: 

“Reference to a stipulation or protective order that allows a party to designate certain documents 

as confidential is not sufficient to establish that a document, or portions thereof, are sealable.” In 

addition, this Court’s Standing Order requires “[a]n identification of each document, documents, 

or portions of documents proposed to be sealed or redacted,” as well as a “statement identifying 

the entity that has designated the materials to be sealed as confidential.” “If a party seeks to seal 

numerous documents, the Court will consider a chart that identifies the entity that designated each 

document as confidential.” Additionally, the Court notes that Local Rule 79-5(b) requires requests 

to be “narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” The filing parties are directed 

to re-file after consulting the Standing Order and Local Rules.
