`
`order narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable material, and listing in table format each document
`
`or portion thereof that is sought to be sealed, is attached hereto. Per Civil Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(C)

`

`
`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`A.
`
`Legal Standard
`
`Under Fed. Rule Civ. P. 26(c)(1)(G), the Court may, in its discretion and for good cause,
`
`issue an order “requiring that a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or
`
`commercial information not be revealed or be revealed only in a specified way.” Similarly, in this
`
`1
`

`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`Circuit, the Court may seal documents and information in the case of a dispositive motion if there
`
`11
`
`are “compelling reasons” to do so, and where “good cause” exists in the case of non-dispositive
`
`12
`
`motions. Ctr. For Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1095-1100 (9th Cir. 2016).
`
`13
`
`A motion is considered “non-dispositive” when the motion is no more than “tangentially related” to
`
`14
`
`the underlying cause of action. Id. at 1099. The “good cause” standard requires a “particularized
`
`15
`
`showing” that “specific prejudice or harm will result” if the information is disclosed. Phillips ex
`
`16
`
`rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen Motors Corp.¸ 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002) (internal quotation
`
`17
`
`marks omitted). “Broad allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples of articulated
`
`18
`
`reasoning” will not suffice. Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Int’l Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 476 (9th Cir. 1992). A
`
`19
`
`request to seal material “must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” L.R.
`
`20
`
`79-5(b).

`

`
`B.
`
`Finjan’s Administrative Motion to Seal Is Supported by Compelling Reasons
`and Is Narrowly Tailored
`
`Compelling reasons exist to file the documents in question under seal, as described in the
`
`Declaration of K. Nicole Williams in Support of Finjan Inc.’s Motion to File under Seal its
`
`Opposition
`
`to SonicWall’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (“Williams Decl.”)
`
`accompanying this motion to seal.
`
`Finjan’s request is narrowly tailored to seal only information that has been designated as
`
`confidential by SonicWall pursuant to the Protective Order entered in this case. For the foregoing

`reasons, Finjan respectfully requests that the Court grant its request that the documents described
`
`above remain under seal.
