v.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC 

COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-00930-JCS 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

MOTIONS TO FILE UNDER SEAL 

SHOULD NOT BE DENIED

Re: Dkt. Nos. 78, 85, 90

Three administrative motions to file documents under seal are presently pending before the 

Court: (1) Plaintiff’s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal Exhibits B−F and M to the

Declaration of Craig J. de Recat (dkt. 71); (2) Defendant’s Administrative Motion to File Under 

Seal Exhibits to the Declaration of Seth R. Sias (dkt. 85); and Plaintiff’s Administrative Motion to 

File Under Seal Exhibits to the Declaration of Robert R. Begland (dkt. 90). Each motion is based 

on the assertion that the documents at issue have been designated confidential by the opposing 

party, and that the party seeking to file them may not unilaterally disclose them in the public 

record.

Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)(1) provides that if a party moves to file under seal documents that 

another party has designated confidential, “[w]ithin 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.” Neither party has filed 

such a declaration. Accordingly, each party is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the opposing 

party’s motion(s) to file under seal should not be denied, by filing a responsive declaration no 

later than September 14, 2015 addressing why each exhibit sought to be sealed cannot be filed in 

the public record. Alternatively, if the parties do not oppose filing these exhibits in the public
