`
`DECLARATION OF VIVIANA BOERO HEDRICK
`I, Viviana Boero Hedrick, declare as follows:
`I am over the age of 18 and competent to make this declaration. I am an attorney duly
`1.
`licensed to practice law in the state of California and Of Counsel with Stubbs Alderton & Markiles,
`LLP, counsel for PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC (“PersonalWeb”) in the above-captioned actions.
`The facts herein are based upon personal knowledge, and if called upon to do so, I could, and would
`testify to their truth under oath.
`I submit this declaration in support of the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal
`2.
`(Case No. 18-md-02834-BLF, Dkt. 540; Case No. 18-cv-00767-BLF, Dkt. 154; and Case No. 18-cv-
`05619-BLF, Dkt. 66) (“Administrative Motion”) filed by Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Web
`Services, Inc. (“Amazon”) and Twitch Interactive, Inc. (“Twitch”). The Administrative Motion was
`filed in support of Amazon’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Noninfringement (“Amazon MSJ”)
`(Case No. 18-md-02834-BLF, Dkt. 541; Case No. 18-cv-00767-BLF, Dkt. 155) and Twitch’s Motion
`for Summary Judgement of Noninfringement and to Exclude the Testimony of Erik de la Iglesia
`(“Twitch MSJ”) (Case No. 18-md-02834-BLF, Dkt. 542; Case No. 18-cv-05619-BLF, Dkt. 67).
`Among other documents and information, the Administrative Motion seeks an order
`3.
`sealing the following document (“Requested Sealed Material”): Excerpts from the deposition
`transcript of Ronald Lachman (“Lachman Deposition”) from PersonalWeb Techs., LLC v. Microsoft
`Corp., No. 6:12-cv-00663-LED (E.D. Tex.), attached as Exhibit 7 to the Declaration of Saina S.
`Shamilov in Support of the Amazon MSJ and Twitch MSJ (“Shamilov Declaration”).
`The Requested Sealed Material comprises information designated as “HIGHLY
`4.
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`ONLY” pursuant to the Stipulated Amended Protective Order (Case No. 18-md-02834-BLF, Dkt.
`427).
`
`The excerpts of the Lachman Deposition attached as Exhibit 7 to the Shamilov
`5.
`Declaration are designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” pursuant
`to the Stipulated Amended Protective Order. This exhibit contains excerpts of testimony from the
`Lachman Deposition regarding non-public aspects of the business negotiations between Kinetech, Inc.

`and Digital Island, Inc. Additionally, these deposition excerpts were previously designated as
`Confidential in the prior action, PersonalWeb Techs., LLC v. Microsoft Corp., No. 6:12-cv-00663-
`LED (E.D. Tex.).
`In the Ninth Circuit, a district court may override the presumption of public access to
`6.
`judicial documents where “good cause” is shown. See Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. General
`Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210 (9th Cir. 2002). “For good cause to exist, the party seeking
`protection bears the burden of showing specific prejudice or harm will result if no protective order is
`granted.” Id. at 1211 (internal citations omitted). A party seeking to file documents under seal in
`connection with a dispositive motion must establish compelling reasons for doing so to rebut the
`presumption against public access. See Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1136
`(9th Cir. 2003).
`The confidential excerpted deposition testimony from the Lachman Deposition meets
`7.
`the Foltz standard. See Phoenix Technologies Ltd. v. VMware, Inc., No. 15-cv-01414-HSG, 2018 WL
`1169188, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 14, 2018) (good cause exists to protect business information that might
`harm a litigant’s competitive standing if disclosed, and where the redaction is “sufficiently narrowly
`tailored” to only seal portions of the exhibit that might put sensitive business information at risk).
`Disclosure of non-public details regarding the negotiation and business deadlines between Digital
`Island and Kinetech, would put PersonalWeb at a competitive disadvantage.
`In light of the foregoing, there is good cause and a compelling interest in maintaining
`8.
`the confidentiality of the Requested Sealed Material described above.
`Accordingly, PersonalWeb requests that the Court maintain under seal Exhibit 7 to the
`9.
`Shamilov Declaration.
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
`true and correct.
`Executed this 15th day of November, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
