UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AFFINITY LABS OF TEXAS LLC,

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No.: 14-CV-2717 YGR

 

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS TO SEAL

The parties’ administrative motions to seal at Docket Numbers 79 and 85 are hereby 

DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See, e.g., Civil Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(A) (“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.”); Civil Local Rule 79-

5(e). Furthermore, the Court notes that certain designated excerpts may not meet the requirements 

for sealing, and that requests to seal entire documents, rather than portions thereof, may be 

overbroad. The parties are required to review carefully each request and to provide sufficient 

support for sealing the material at issue. 

This Order terminates Docket Numbers 79 and 85. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
