11 consolidating all motions to seal that were then pending;

12 WHEREAS, on July 2, 2024, the Court directed the Parties to meet and confer and

13 reconsider their sealing requests in light of the “compelling reasons” standard under Kamakana v.

14 City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006), and ordered the Parties to file either a

15 revised Joint Omnibus Administrative Motion to Seal that has more narrowly tailored requests for

3 reasons” standard;

4 WHEREAS, the Parties, pertinent third parties, and their respective counsel have limited

5 availability prior to July 9, 2024, given scheduling conflicts around the Fourth of July holiday;

6 WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to extend the deadline for filing the revised Joint

7 Omnibus Administrative Motion to Seal to July 19, 2024, to accommodate the Parties’, pertinent

8 third parties’, and their respective counsels’ scheduling conflicts and to provide sufficient time for

9 the Parties and pertinent third parties to review and narrowly tailor their requests for

10 sealing/redactions to meet the “compelling reasons” standard;

11 WHEREAS, no other deadlines will be altered or otherwise impacted by this extension, as

12 set forth in the Declaration of Michelle Kao filed concurrently herewith; and
