UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MLC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-03657-SI 

ORDER DENYING MICRON'S 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE 

UNDER SEAL RESPONSE TO LETTER 

FROM MARINO TO COMPEL 

SHIRLEY DEPOSITION

Re: Dkt. No. 368

Micron has filed an administrative motion to file under seal Micron’s response to MLC’s 

motion to compel the deposition of Mr. Brian Shirley. Dkt. No. 368. Micron seeks to file a letter 

with two redactions as well as the entirety of Exhibit A (Mr. Kaplan’s deposition testimony) under 

seal. The Court has reviewed the material at issue and finds that none of it is confidential. While 

the discovery motion relates generally to the 2013 NDA, which the Court has permitted to be filed 

under seal, neither the letter nor the Kaplan deposition testimony quotes from the NDA, and indeed 

the material sought to be sealed (such as “that Mr. Shirley signed” on page 2 of the March 20, 2019 

letter) is already in the public record. See e.g., Dkt. No. 361, 369. Accordingly, Micron’s 

administrative motion is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
