In re DYNAMIC RANDOM ACCESS

MEMORY (DRAM) ANTITRUST 

LITIGATION No. M 02-1486 PJH

_______________________________/

ORDER DENYING 

This Document Relates to: SEALING REQUEST

All Indirect Purchaser Actions

_______________________________/

Indirect purchaser plaintiffs have filed an administrative request for leave to file

certain portions of their first amended complaint, filed June 28, 2007, under seal. 

Specifically, plaintiffs seek to file under seal paragraphs 59-67, 70 and 74 of the first

amended complaint.

Court proceedings are presumptively public, and as plaintiffs’ request acknowledges,

no document shall be filed under seal without a request for a court order that is narrowly

tailored to cover only the particular portion of the document for which good cause exists for

filing under seal. However, if the sole ground for the sealing order is that the opposing

party has designated the information at issue as confidential, the opposing party must file a

declaration establishing good cause for the sealing along with a proposed order, or must

withdraw the designation. This declaration must be filed within five days of service on the

opposing party of the request for a sealing order, or else the court may order that the

document be filed in the public record.

Here, plaintiffs’ sole ground for requesting that the above specified paragraphs be

filed under seal is that defendants have designated the material “Confidential” or “Highly

Confidential.” Accordingly, it was incumbent upon defendants to file a declaration

establishing good cause for the sealing of the above paragraphs, no later than July 6, 2007. 

Defendants failed to do so. As such, the court hereby DENIES plaintiffs’ request to file the

above designated portions of the first amended complaint under seal. 

Plaintiffs shall accordingly file an unredacted version of the first amended complaint

in the public docket.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
