Education, Inc., et al., )) Plaintiffs, ) No. CV-05-3643-PCT-PGR ) vs. )) ORDER Page Unified School District No. 8, )

et al., )) Defendants. ) ) 

Pending before the Court is the parties' Stipulation to Enter into Protective

Order for Disclosure of Confidential Material (doc. #33), filed April 28, 2006.

Although the Court has no objection to entering into a protective order in this action,

the Court will require the parties to submit an amended form of protective order that

revises paragraph 5 on page four of their proposed Protective Order for Disclosure

of Confidential Material so that it contains the language that the Court requires

relating to the filing of confidential or privileged information with the Court. The Court

requires this language in light of its policy, adopted due to the strong presumption

in favor of public access to court records, not to allow parties to file entire documents

under seal simply because some portion of the document may contain confidential

or privileged information.

Since the parties may not electronically file sealed documents with the
