UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MLC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03657-SI 

ORDER RE: MICRON'S OMNIBUS 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE 

UNDER SEAL PORTIONS OF 

MICRON'S DAUBERT MOTIONS, 

MOTION TO STRIKE AND EXHIBITS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 442-443

On April 22, 2019, Micron filed two Daubert motions, a motion to strike, and motions in 

limine #1-5, as well as consolidated exhibits to those motions. Dkt. Nos. 442-449, 451-452. Micron 

also filed an omnibus administrative motion to file under seal portions of the Daubert motions and 

the motion to strike, as well as the exhibits. Dkt. Nos. 442-443. MLC filed a declaration in support 

of the omnibus administrative motion. Dkt. No. 469.

The Court has reviewed the materials provided and finds the following:

1. Although the filed exhibits (and the chambers copies provided to the Court) start with 

Exhibit 1 and end with Exhibit 30, the filings do not include the following exhibits: 4, 

8-9, and 25-28. Micron is directed to file these documents and to provide the Court with 

chambers copies no later than May 10, 2019. 

2. Micron seeks to file Exhibits 13-19 entirely under seal. With the exception of two words 

in Exhibit 15 (the identity of the licensees in the first paragraph), these letters do not 

discuss confidential technical information about Micron’s products, nor do they appear 

to contain any confidential or sensitive business information of any party or non-party. 

Indeed, at least one of the documents references a press release and includes information

from that press release. Accordingly, Micron’s motion to file Exhibits 13-14 and 16-19

under seal is DENIED and these exhibits shall be filed in the public record. Micron may 

file a redacted version of Exhibit 15 that redacts the names of the licensees.

3. Micron seeks to file Exhibit 22 entirely under seal. Exhibit 22 is an excerpt of Micron’s 

supplemental responses to MLC’s fifth set of interrogatories. The only part of this 

document that appears to contain sensitive business information is found at page 8, lines 

1-15. The Court GRANTS Micron leave to file page 8, lines 1-15 of Exhibit 22 under 

seal; the remainder of that document shall be filed in the public record.

4. The Court GRANTS Micron’s administrative motion to file under seal excerpts of the 

Daubert motions and the motion to strike, as well as the highlighted portions (or the 

entirety, as requested) of Exhibits 1-3, 5-7, 11-12, 20-21, 23-24, and 29-30.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
