BISCHOFF, et al. v. BRITTAIN, et al., CASE NO. 2:14-cv-01970-KJM-CKD Page 1

ORDER ON REQUEST TO SEAL DOCUMENTS (FED. R. CIV. P. 26(b)(5)(B))

On September 7, 2016, Plaintiffs Scott Bischoff, Leron Dempsey and Project Sentinel, 

Inc. (“Plaintiffs”) presented four e-mail messages to the Court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B) and requested sealing under General Local Rule 141. The parties dispute 

whether the e-mail messages are subject to attorney-client privilege and work-product protection.

For good cause shown, the request to seal is GRANTED insofar as was necessary for the 

Court to review the e-mail messages. The Court further DETERMINES that the e-mail messages 

are not subject to privilege or protection.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 12, 2016
