UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CHAD HERRON, individually, on 

behalf of himself and all 

others similarly situated, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

BEST BUY STORES, LP, a 

Virginia limited partnership;

and Dell, Inc.; 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-02103-GEB-CKD 

ORDER 

Pending are two requests to seal documents desired to 

be filed in opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for class 

certification. (See Notices Req. Seal, ECF Nos. 132, 134.) 

Consideration of those sealing requests has caused the Court to 

sua sponte reconsider its September 10, 2015 Order Granting Joint 

Renewed Sealing Request. (ECF No. 129.) 

Reconsideration of that order reveals that the parties 

did not justify the following redactions to Plaintiff’s 

Memorandum of Points & Authorities in Support of Motion for Class 

Certification under either the “good cause” or “compelling 

reasons” sealing standards: 

Page 13, line 19, starting with “(ii)” through page 13, 

line 22, ending with “infra.”; 

Page 14, line 5, starting with “Defendant” through page

Page 45, line 13, the words “one (1) million.” 

“Because of the strong presumption of access to [court] 

records, . . . [s]ealing orders . . . must be narrowly 

tailored.” Perry v. City & Cnty. of S.F., No. 10-16696, 2011 WL 

2419868, at *21 (9th Cir. 2011). Therefore, “any interest 

justifying closure must be specified with particularity, and 

there must be [a showing] that the [redaction requested] is 

narrowly confined to protect that interest.” Id. (internal 

quotation marks, citation, and emphasis omitted). The parties 

have not shown that the information contained in in the above 

referenced reactions must be sealed to protect Best Buy’s 

business interests under even the lesser “good cause” sealing 

standard. 

For the stated reasons, Plaintiff shall file a newly 

redacted version of its Memorandum of Points & Authorities in 

Support of Motion for Class Certification, which makes public the 

referenced sections of the document, within seven (7) days from 

the date this order is filed. 

Dated: September 25, 2015
