31 Now before the Court is Defendant Keranos, LLC’s Administrative Request to File 2 Documents Under Seal. Upon consideration of the motion, and of the supporting declaration of 3 Theresa E. Norton filed therewith, the Court finds there to be good cause for granting 4 Defendant’s request to file the following documents under seal: (1) Exhibit 20 to the Declaration 5 of Theresa Norton in Support of Defendant Keranos, LLC’s Reply in Support of Motions to 6 Dismiss (“Norton Decl.”); (2) Exhibit 21 to Norton Decl.; (3) Exhibit 22 to Norton Decl.; (4) 7 Exhibit 23 to Norton Decl.; (5) Exhibit 24 to Norton Decl.; (6) Exhibit 30 to Norton Decl.; (7) 8 Exhibit 65 to Norton Decl.; (8) Exhibit 66 to Norton Decl.; and (9) Exhibit 72 to Norton Decl. 9 These documents were filed under seal in the Texas Case, and are appropriately filed under seal 10 in this action as well. 11 Defendant Keranos, LLC also seeks to file under seal the entirety of its Reply in this 12 action. This request is too broad, as a motion to seal documents must be “narrowly tailored to 13 seek sealing of only sealable material.” Civ. Local Rule 79-5(a). Defendant Keranos, LLC’s 14 Reply contains much information that is neither sealable nor confidential. Accordingly, by 15 Wednesday, February 23, 2011, Defendant is directed to submit: (1) a redacted version of its 16 Reply that can be filed in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(c); and (2) a 17 second motion to file under seal with respect to the confidential version of the Reply. If the 18 redacted version is narrowly tailored to omit only sealable material, the Court will permit the 19 confidential version to be filed under seal. 20 IT IS SO ORDERED.
