OPEN TEXT S.A.,

Plaintiff,

v.

BOX, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-04910-JD 

ORDER RE ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTIONS TO SEAL

Re: Dkt. Nos. 395, 408, 429, 483, 506, 517, 

519, 545, 587

This order resolves the pending administrative motions to file documents under seal in this 

case. One of the motions, filed at Dkt. No. 516, is moot, since it has been replaced by the motion 

at Dkt. No. 519.

I. GOVERNING STANDARD

In our circuit, in evaluating a motion to seal, two different standards apply depending on 

whether the request is being made in connection with a dispositive motion or a non-dispositive 

motion.

For dispositive motions, the historic, “strong presumption of access to judicial records”

fully applies, and a party seeking sealing must establish “compelling reasons” to overcome that 

presumption. Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-80 (9th Cir. 

2006) (quoting Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1136 (9th Cir. 2003)). 

This standard presents a “high threshold,” and “a ‘good cause’ showing will not, without more,

satisfy” it. Id. at 1180 (citations omitted). When ordering sealing in this context, the district 

court must also “articulate the rationale underlying its decision to seal.” Apple Inc. v. Psystar 

Corp., 658 F.3d 1150, 1162 (9th Cir. 2011).

The non-dispositive motion context is different. There, “the usual presumption of the 

public’s right of access is rebutted,” the “public has less of a need for access to court records 

attached only to non-dispositive motions,” and the “public policies that support the right of

access to dispositive motions, and related materials, do not apply with equal force to nondispositive materials.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179-80 (citations omitted). Therefore, in that 

context, materials may be sealed so long as the party seeking sealing makes a “particularized 

showing” under the “good cause” standard of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c). Id. at 1180 

(quoting Foltz, 331 F.3d at 1138). In either case, however, “[a]n unsupported assertion of ‘unfair 

advantage’ to competitors without explaining ‘how a competitor would use th[e] information to 

obtain an unfair advantage’ is insufficient.” Hodges v. Apple, Inc., No. 13-cv-01128-WHO, 2013 

WL 6070408, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 18, 2013) (quoting Dunbar v. Google, Inc., No. 5:12-cv003305-LHK, 2012 WL 6202719, at *4-5 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 18, 2013)).

In our district, in addition to meeting the applicable standard under Kamakana, all parties 

requesting sealing must also comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5, including that rule’s 

requirement that the request must “establish[] that the document, or portions thereof, are 

privileged, protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law,” i.e., is 

“sealable.” Civil L.R. 79-5(b). The sealing request must also “be narrowly tailored to seek 

sealing only of sealable material.” Id.

II. DISCUSSION

Each of the pending motions is associated with non-dispositive motions or objections, so 

the “good cause” standard applies.
