13 Before the Court are several Administrative Motions to Seal. The Court, having carefully

14 considered the submissions, the record, the applicable law, and any arguments related thereto,

15 hereby GRANTS the Administrative Motions.

16 LEGAL STANDARD

17 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, the party seeking to file a document or portions of it

18 under seal must explain “(i) the legitimate private or public interests that warrant sealing; (ii) the

19 injury that will result if sealing is denied; and (iii) why a less restrictive alternative to sealing is

20 not sufficient.” Civil L.R. 79-5(c)(1). The request must be “narrowly tailored to seal only the

21 sealable material.” Id. at 79-5(c)(3). A party seeking to seal records must provide “compelling

22 reasons” to overcome the “strong presumption in favor of access.” Kamakana v. City & Cty. Of

23 Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 28 1178 (9th Cir. 2006); see Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC,

24 809 F.3d 1092, 1096 (9th Cir. 2016). The standard derives from the “common law right ‘to

25 inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.’”

26 Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Kamakana, 447 F.3d at

27 1178). To overcome this strong presumption, the party seeking to seal judicial records must

1 history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure, such as the public interest in

2 understanding the judicial process.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178-79 (citations omitted). The

3 party must make a “particularized showing” that “specific prejudice or harm will result” if the

4 information is disclosed. Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206,

5 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002). It is in the “sound discretion of the trial court” to determine what

6 constitutes a “compelling reason” for sealing a court document. Ctr. for Auto Safety, 809 F.3d at

7 1097 (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978)). Compelling reasons

8 justifying sealing court records generally exist when such “court files might . . . become a vehicle

9 for improper purposes” such as “releas[ing] trade secrets,” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179, or “as

10 sources of business information that might harm a litigant’s competitive standing,” Ctr. for Auto

11 Safety, 809 F.3d at 1097; see In re Elec. Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2008) (sealing

12 trade secret information about “the pricing terms, royalty rates, and guaranteed minimum payment

13 terms” in the parties’ licensing agreement). Records attached to nondispositive motions must

14 meet the lower “good cause” standard of Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as

15 such records “are often unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action.”

16 Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179-80 (quotations omitted).

17 DISCUSSION

18 The Court finds that compelling reasons exist to support the filing under seal of the

19 documents or portions thereof listed as “granted” in the following chart and grants the requests to

20 seal these documents or portions thereof where they appear on the public docket. The Court

21 appreciates the efforts of counsel to prepare the chart below, including citations to the relevant

22 docket entries. The Court repeats its admonishment that, while it grants sealing many of the

23 documents presented at this stage, it will be disinclined to permit sealing of materials presented in

24 a public trial. See Omnibus Sealing Order (ECF 233) at 3.
