No. C-06-03717 RMW

ORDER REGARDING MOTION TO SEAL

[Re Docket No. 784]

Plaintiffs Aristocrat Technologies, Australia PTY Limited, and Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.

(collectively "Aristocrat") move to file under seal portions of its opposition to IGT's motion for

leave to file first supplemental answer and counterclaims as well as portions of Exhibit 1 and all of

Exhibits 2 through 6 to the Declaration of Jeremy T. Elman in support thereof. 

A request to seal must establish that the document, or portions thereof, is privileged or

protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. Civ. L. R. 79-5(a). 

The request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing of only sealable material. Id. Having

reviewed the material that Aristocrat seek to file under seal, the court has concerns about the extent

of material which Aristocrat seeks to file under seal. With respect to Aristocrat's opposition to IGT's

motion for leave to file first supplemental answer and counterclaims, it appears that there is no basis

for sealing lines 8-14 on page 9. As for Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Jeremy T. Elman, it appears

that there is no basis for sealing the redacted portions of pages 40-43 and 50-53. The court therefore

orders Aristocrat to explain why these portions are sealable. If Aristocrat does not submit an

explanation establishing that this material is sealable by May 14, 2010, the motion to seal will be

denied.
