United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KELLY WILSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-01441-VC 

ORDER REGARDING 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTIONS TO 

FILE UNDER SEAL

The Court is tentatively of the view that none of the materials sought to be sealed in 

connection with the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment should actually be sealed. 

However, before issuing a final ruling, the Court would like to give the parties an opportunity to 

brief and argue the matter more fully. Accordingly, Disney should file a brief, not to exceed 15 

pages, by May 14, explaining why it believes there are compelling reasons to justify the sealing of 

all material the parties propose to seal. Wilson should file a response, also not to exceed 15 pages, 

by May 28. Disney may file a reply, not to exceed 10 pages, by June 4. A hearing on the motions 

to seal is scheduled for June 25, 2015. If the Court determines, after reviewing the briefs, that a 

hearing is unnecessary, it will notify the parties in advance.

In addition, Disney must re-file its administrative motion to file under seal, document 

number 84, because that motion was terminated. See Order, Doc. No. 96. Disney should not refile the accompanying exhibits, only the administrative motion. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 20, 2015
