NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

MEDIMMUNE, LLC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C08-05590 JF (HRL)

INTERIM ORDER RE DEFENDANT’S

MOTION TO SEAL

[Re: Docket No. 560]

Defendant PDL Biopharma, Inc. (PDL) moves to seal portions of (1) PDL’s motion to

compel discovery (Docket No. 563), (2) the supporting declaration of Raymond LaMagna, and

(3) Exhibits A, D, and I-L of the LaMagna Declaration (Docket No. 565). This court notes that

Exhibit A, which both sides claim to be confidential, is subject to prior sealing orders. 

Nevertheless, as to the vast majority of the exhibits submitted for sealing, PDL says that sealing

is warranted because the subject information has been designated for “Attorneys Eyes Only” by

MedImmune. MedImmune, however, has not filed declaration(s) establishing that the

information is sealable. Moreover, there is a suggestion in the papers before this court that at

least some of the information submitted for sealing may be matters of public record. Although

the information is now subject to being made part of the court’s public record pursuant to Civil

Local Rule 79-5(d), MedImmune will be given an additional opportunity to explain why sealing

is required.
