J. AUGUSTO BASTIDAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL LP, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-04388-SI 

ORDER RE: ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTIONS TO SEAL

Re: Dkt. Nos. 117, 121, 122, 127, 131

On November 13, 2015, this Court granted plaintiff’s request for leave to file a Fourth 

Amended Complaint. Dkt. 138. This order rendered moot defendants’ summary judgment 

motion. Dkt. 117, 118. The following documents were filed under seal in support of, or in 

opposition to, this motion: (1) defendants’ motion and accompanying exhibits and declarations

(Dkt. 117); (2) plaintiff’s opposition and accompanying exhibits and declarations (Dkt. 121, 122);

(3) defendants’ reply and accompanying declaration (Dkt. 127); and (4) defendants’ supplemental 

brief (Dkt. 131). Consequently, this order mooted these administrative motions as well. 

The Court assumes that some of the original documents sought to be sealed will be resubmitted over the course of this case. Before either party proceeds to file another document 

under seal, however, this Court orders the two sides to meet and confer and (1) determine whether 

this document is duplicative of a document filed by the opposing party, and if so, (2) to file a joint 

administrative motion to seal whereby the parties stipulate to the specific contents of the document 

they wish sealed, by paragraph or line number. The Court will not rule on competing motions to 

seal that target different paragraphs or lines in the same document. If both parties agree that the 

entire document should be sealed, they must indicate this in their joint administrative motion. If 

either party objects to a document being sealed (in whole or in part), that party may indicate the
