--------------------

Case 5:05-cv-03580-JF Document 107 Filed 10/29/07 Page 1 of 3
1 Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion filed pursuant to Civ. L.R. 79-5 (the "Motion") and the

2 Response of defendant Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") pursuant to Civ. L.R. 79-5(d) (the

3 "Response") came before this Cour for determination in connection with Plaintiffs' Opposition

4 to HP's Motion for Sumar Judgment. The documents to be kept under seal include the

5 exhbits contained in Volume 2 of Niall P. McCarhy's Declaration that was fied with this Cour

6 on October 19,2007 ("McCarhy's Declaration"). These documents include the following:

7 . Excerpts of Brian Helterline's transcript that were attached as "Exhbit C" to

8 McCarhy's Declaration;

9 · The Socratic Technologies interim report on HP SureSupply user research, dated

10 June 2004, that was attached as "Exhbit D" to McCarhy's Declaration; and

1 1 . The one-month (Januar 2004) exemplar of the iCare database report logging

12 customer service responses by HP service technicians, attached as "Exhibit E" to

13 McCarhy's Declaration.

14 After consideration of the Motion and HP's Response, the Declaration of Edward

15 Bomber, the Stipulation to Enter Protective Order for All Matters ("Protective Order") fied in

16 this action on March 22,2006, the Cour's fies and records in this matter, and compellng reasons

17 appearing therefore:

18 IT is HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED, as follows:

19 Each of these exhibits has been previously designated by HP as "Restricted Information"

20 or "Restricted Outside Counsel Only Information." The Cour recognizes that Plaintiffs fied a

21 similar administrative motion to seal these documents in connection with Plaintiffs' Motion for

22 Class Certification. In response to that administrative motion, HP responded and submitted the

23 Declaration of Edward Bomber in Support ofHP's Response to Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion

24 to Seal Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(d) ("Bomber's Declaration") to this Cour. Bomber's

25 Declaration addressed and supported the confidentiality of these three documents.

26 Therefore, these Exhibits, which were originally lodged under seal, are to remain fied

27 under seal because they reflect confidential business information, the disclosure of which

28 threatens to put HP at a competitive disadvantage and cause it harm with respect to its
