IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUSAN RENE JONES,

Plaintiff,

 v.

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE CO., 

et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C-08-03971-JW (DMR)

ORDER TO FILE DOCUMENT UNDER

SEAL

On August 9, 2010, this Court received a chambers copy of Plaintiff’s Memorandum in

Opposition (“Opposition”) to Defendants’ Motion to Strike, which had been lodged with the Clerk

on August 5, 2010. Per the Court’s July 20, 2010 order, the parties were required to submit all

further briefing on this matter in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5. See Docket No. 126. 

Plaintiff failed to do so and submitted two copies of Plaintiff’s entire opposition brief under seal,

without an administrative motion in conformance with Local Rule 7-11 (requiring, inter alia, a

stipulation requesting judicial action or an explanation why a stipulation could not be reached) and

proposed order. However, Defendants’ counsel has informed the Court that Defendants do not

oppose the filing of Plaintiff’s entire brief under seal. 

Accordingly, because the underlying motion to strike and opposition thereto involve

potential issues of ADR confidentiality, the Court orders that Plaintiff’s Opposition be filed under

seal.
