[PROPOSED] SEALING ORDER C 06-07171 MMC 

CIVIL L.R. 79-5(d) 

Before the Court are two administrative motions filed by plaintiffs: (1) a 

motion to file under seal plaintiffs’ motion to certify and supporting declaration of counsel; 

and (2) a motion to file under seal plaintiffs’ reply and supporting declaration of counsel. 

Having read and considered the motions and the Declaration of William E. 

Simmons submitted by defendant City of Oakland in support of the former, the Court rules 

as follows: 

1. To the extent plaintiff seeks to file under seal Exhibit 10 to the Declaration 

of James B. Chanin in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion to Certify, filed November 13, 2007, 

consisting of a one page typewritten document Bates-stamped “OAK 358,” the motion is 

hereby GRANTED, and the Clerk is directed to file under seal an unredacted version of 

said Exhibit. 

2. In all other respects, the motions are hereby DENIED, for the reason that 

no defendant has asked that the remaining documents be filed under seal. Plaintiffs are 

hereby DIRECTED to file in the public record, no later than May 1, 2008, (1) plaintiffs’ 

motion to certify and supporting declaration of counsel, with the exception of Exhibit 10 

thereto, and (2) plaintiffs’ reply and supporting declaration of counsel. If plaintiffs fail to 

timely file such documents in the public record, the Court will not consider them in ruling 

on plaintiffs’ motion to certify.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: April 28, 2008
