`
`
`
`Case No. 17-cv-05659-WHA (TSH)
`
`
`ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SEAL
`
`Re: Dkt. No. 483
`
`In connection with the joint discovery letter brief the parties filed concerning Juniper’s
`
`motion to compel the production of documents by non-party Dawn-Marie Bey, ECF No. 484,
`
`Juniper filed a motion to seal. ECF No. 483. The motion sought to seal three privilege logs not
`
`because Juniper thought they were confidential, but because Finjan and Bey designated them as
`
`such. Under this Court’s Local Rule 79-5(e)(1), Finjan and/or Bey were required to “file a
`
`declaration as required by subsection 79-5(d)(1) establishing that all of the designated material is
`
`sealable” “[w]ithin 4 days of the filing” of the motion to seal. The motion to seal was filed on
`
`May 22, 2019. Due to the weekend and Memorial Day holiday, the first court day four days after
`
`the motion was filed was yesterday, and no declaration was filed. In addition, the Court does not
`
`see how the public disclosure of these logs could give rise to competitive harm. They are
`
`essentially long lists of repetitive, high-level descriptions of documents that do not reveal their
`
`contents. The motion to seal at ECF No. 483 is DENIED.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
