party must file with the Court and serve a declaration establishing that the designated

information is sealable, and must lodge and serve a narrowly tailored proposed sealing

order, or must withdraw the designation of confidentiality.” Id. “If the designating party

Here, the designating parties, defendants, have not filed a responsive declaration

Inc.’s Administrative Motion to Extend Discovery Cutoff. See Civil L.R. 79-5(d).
