No. C-07-01700 RMW

ORDER REGARDING MOTION TO SEAL 

[Re Docket No. 236]

Plaintiffs move to file under seal its motion for class certification, the declaration of Roger

N. Heller in support thereof, and all attached exhibits. 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 plaintiffs seek to file under seal, the court has concerns

about the extent of material which plaintiffs seek to file under seal. Plaintiffs have represented that

it seeks to file these documents under seal because they have been designated confidential or contain

information designated confidential by Dell. The court therefore orders Dell to either explain why

all of the designated material is sealable or to submit a narrowly tailored request to file under seal
