Defendants. 

Case No. 10-cv-00437-JSW 

ORDER DENYING IN PART AND 

RESERVING IN PART STIPULATION 

TO FILE UNDER SEAL 

Re: Dkt. No. 139 

The parties have filed a stipulation to file certain exhibits to the Declaration of Richard 

Raines C. Raines under seal. The parties’ stipulation does not conform with the requirements of 

Northern District Civil Local Rule 79-5(b), which provides that 

[e]xcept as provided in Civil L.R. 79-5(c), no document may be 

filed under seal (i.e., closed to inspection by the public) except 

pursuant to a court order that authorizes the sealing of the particular 

document, or portions thereof. A sealing order may issue only upon 

a request that establishes that the document, or portions thereof, are 

privileged, protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to 

protection under the law (hereinafter referred to as “sealable”). The 

request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable 

material, and must conform with Civil L.R. 79-5(d). 

 The fact that a party may have designated material as confidential, pursuant to a protective 

order, does not render that document “sealable,” as that term is defined under Local Rule 79-5. 

 Defendants included Exhibit B to the Raines Declaration as part of exhibit to the 

Declaration of Sarah Robertson, and they did not seek to seal that document. Accordingly, the 

motion to seal Exhibit B to the Raines Declaration is denied. 

 Under Local Rule 79-5(e), if a party seeks to file a document under seal that the opposing 

party has designated as confidential, the opposing party must submit a declaration demonstrating 

that the document is sealable. Before the Court rules on whether Exhibit F to the Raines
