Now before the Court are two administrative motions for leave

Judge, ECF Nos. 2782-1 ("Judge Deadline Decl.") Ex. A; 2783-1 

("Judge Depo. Decl.") Ex. A (collectively, the "Judge 

Declarations"), as well as portions of two briefs filed by Thomson 

Defendants in opposition to discovery motions filed by the Direct 

Action Plaintiffs ("DAPs"). 

As required by Civil Local Rule 79-5, counsel for Thomson 

Defendants, Stephen Judge, filed declarations in support of both 

motions discussing the materials to be sealed, referencing prior 

orders sealing materials referenced in their briefing, and noting 

that Samsung SDI designated Exhibit A to the Judge Declarations as 

confidential pursuant to the parties' stipulated protective order, 

ECF No. 1142. Judge Deadline Decl. ¶¶ 2, 9-11; Judge Depo. Decl. 

¶¶ 2, 9-10. Subsequently, as required by Civil Local Rule 79-5(e), 

counsel for Samsung SDI filed a declaration establishing the 

sealability of Exhibit A to the Judge Declarations. ECF No. 2813

Nevertheless, counsel for Thomson Defendants failed to comply 

with the local rules by not submitting a proposed order with their 

administrative motions for leave to file under seal. See Civ. L.R. 

79-5(d)(1)(B). Counsel for all parties are reminded that if they 

fail to comply with the requirements of Civil Local Rule 79-5, they 

risk denial of their motions for leave to file under seal. 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
