Before: O’SCANNLAIN and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges, and MOLLOY,
District Judge.***

      Diane Karsten and Paula Meserve contend that the magistrate judge erred in

ordering them and other nonparties to return unredacted copies of a show-cause

hearing transcript. We disagree. Karsten and Meserve waived any objection to the

redactions, see Phillips v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210 (9th Cir. 2002),

and, in any event, the redaction order accorded with the common law right of

access, see Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1137–38 (9th

Cir. 2003). Because the redactions were proper, the magistrate judge had authority

to order the return of unredacted copies of the transcript. The district court

properly affirmed that order.

      AFFIRMED.

        ***
              The Honorable Donald W. Molloy, United States District Judge for
the District of Montana, sitting by designation.
