UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROBERT MACKINNON,

Plaintiff,

v.

LOGITECH INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05231-TEH 

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL

In support of their motion for summary judgment, Defendants seek to file under seal 

the transcript of a November 11, 2014 company meeting as Exhibit J to the Declaration of 

Melissa Perry. However, Defendants implicitly acknowledge that the transcript is not 

sealable in its entirety since they describe some of the meeting’s substance in their motion 

papers. The Court’s review also indicates that the transcript is not sealable in its entirety.

Accordingly, Defendants’ motion is DENIED.1 Defendants must file an unredacted copy 

of Exhibit J or a narrowly tailored sealing request by November 15, 2016. Defendants 

may consider filing only those portions of the transcript that are necessary for the Court to 

rule on the pending motions for summary judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 11/08/16 _____________________________________ 

THELTON E. HENDERSON 

United States District Judge

The Court previously granted Defendants’ unopposed motion to file under seal a 

videorecording of the entire meeting. However, the Court’s decision was not based on a 

conclusion that the meeting was sealable in its entirety. Instead, although it did not say so 

at the time, the Court concluded that it would be unnecessarily burdensome to require 

Defendants to redact a videorecording. Redacting a written transcript poses no such 

burden.
