United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALLCELLS, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

JACK ZHAI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-07323-EMC 

ORDER GRANTING IN PART

PLAINTIFF’S ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL

Docket Nos. 81, 88

Previously, the Court granted in part, denied in part, and deferred in part AllCells’s motion 

to file under seal. See Docket No. 81 (motion); Docket No. 88 (order). The Court deferred ruling 

with respect to Exhibits B and I attached to the Weil reply declaration, as well as Exhibit 1 to the 

Pixley reply declaration. AllCells has submitted a declaration from Mr. Tong to support its claim 

of confidentiality with respect to these exhibits. See Docket No. 97 (Tong declaration). 

The Court grants the motion to seal Exhibit I.

As for Exhibits B and 1, while the Court is skeptical that the documents contain 

confidential information in need of sealing, the Court shall, out of an abundance of caution, grant 

the motion to file under seal without prejudice.

As with its prior orders, the Court notes that, in granting the motion to file under seal, it is 

not making any ruling as to whether any information is a trade secret.

This order disposes of Docket No. 81.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 28, 2017
