`Case 5:18-md-02834-BLF Document 575 Filed 12/16/19 Page 2 of 10
`
`
`
`I. LEGAL STANDARD
`
`“Historically, courts have recognized a ‘general right to inspect and copy public records and
`
`documents, including judicial records and documents.’” Kamakana v. City & Cty. Of Honolulu,
`
`447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597
`
`& n. 7 (1978)). Accordingly, when considering a sealing request, “a ‘strong presumption in favor
`
`of access’ is the starting point.” Id. (quoting Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122,
`
`1135 (9th Cir. 2003)). Parties seeking to seal judicial records relating to motions that are “more
`
`than tangentially related to the underlying cause of action” bear the burden of overcoming the
`
`presumption with “compelling reasons” that outweigh the general history of access and the public
`
`policies favoring disclosure. Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., 809 F.3d 1092, 1099 (9th Cir.
`
`2016); Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178–79.
`
`However, “while protecting the public’s interest in access to the courts, we must remain
`
`mindful of the parties’ right to access those same courts upon terms which will not unduly harm
`
`their competitive interest.” Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., Ltd., 727 F.3d 1214, 1228–29 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2013). Records attached to motions that are “not related, or only tangentially related, to the
`
`merits of a case” therefore are not subject to the strong presumption of access. Ctr. for Auto Safety,
`
`809 F.3d at 1099; see also Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (“[T]he public has less of a need for access
`
`to court records attached only to non-dispositive motions because those documents are often
`
`unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action.”). Parties moving to seal
`
`the documents attached to such motions must meet the lower “good cause” standard of Rule 26(c).
`
`Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (internal quotations and citations omitted). This standard requires a
`
`“particularized showing,” id., that “specific prejudice or harm will result” if the information is
`
`disclosed. Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir.
`
`2002); see Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). “Broad allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples
`
`of articulated reasoning” will not suffice. Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Int’l Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 470, 476
`
`(9th Cir. 1992). A protective order sealing the documents during discovery may reflect the court’s
`
`previous determination that good cause exists to keep the documents sealed, see Kamakana, 447
`
`F.3d at 1179–80, but a blanket protective order that allows the parties to designate confidential

`
`documents does not provide sufficient judicial scrutiny to determine whether each particular
`
`document should remain sealed. See Civ. L.R. 79-5(d)(1)(A) (“Reference to a stipulation or
`
`protective order that allows a party to designate certain documents as confidential is not sufficient
`
`to establish that a document, or portions thereof, are sealable.”).
`
`In addition to making particularized showings of good cause, parties moving to seal
`
`documents must comply with the procedures established by Civ. L.R. 79-5. Pursuant to Civ. L.R.
`
`79-5(b), a sealing order is appropriate only upon a request that establishes the document is
`
`“sealable,” or “privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under
`
`the law.” “The request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material, and must
`
`conform with Civil L.R. 79-5(d).” Civ. L.R. 79-5(b). In part, Civ. L.R. 79-5(d) requires the
`
`submitting party to attach a “proposed order that is narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable
`
`material” which “lists in table format each document or portion thereof that is sought to be sealed,”
`
`Civ. L.R. 79-5(d)(1)(b), and an “unredacted version of the document” that indicates “by highlighting
`
`or other clear method, the portions of the document that have been omitted from the redacted
`
`version.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(d)(1)(d). “Within 4 days of the filing of the Administrative Motion to File
`
`Under Seal, the Designating Party must file a declaration as required by subsection 79-5(d)(1)(A)
`
`establishing that all of the designated material is sealable.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(e)(1).
`
`II. DISCUSSION
`
`The Court has reviewed the parties’ sealing motions and the declarations of the designating
`
`parties submitted in support thereof. The Court finds that the parties have articulated compelling
`
`reasons to seal certain portions of the submitted documents. The proposed redactions are generally
`
`narrowly tailored. The Court’s rulings on the sealing requests are set forth in the tables below.

`
`purportedly, on Mr. de la Iglesia’s
`review of Amazon’s confidential
`technical documents and the testimony
`of Amazon witnesses. The sensitive
`business information represents
`Amazon’s trade secrets regarding the
`design and operation of the CloudFront
`service and its cloud servers. It
`includes competitively sensitive
`information regarding the technical
`design and operation of the accused
`CloudFront service, the disclosure of
`which would put Amazon at a
`competitive disadvantage with respect
`to competitors and competing services.
`The way that CloudFront internally
`operates and handles requests is
`competitively sensitive because, for
`example, a competitor content delivery
`network could seek to improve their
`servers’ efficiency and performance by
`mimicking CloudFront’s internal
`caching techniques. Public disclosure
`of this highly confidential information
`would put Amazon at undue risk of
`serious harm by revealing trade secrets
`and confidential operational
`information that may put them at a
`competitive disadvantage relative to
`competitors and competing services.

`
`This exhibit contains excerpts of the
`deposition transcript of Twitch Senior
`Software Engineer and corporate
`designee James Richard. In this
`testimony, Mr. Richard provides
`nonpublic and proprietary information
`concerning the operation of Twitch’s
`servers. Disclosure of this information
`would put Twitch at a competitive
`disadvantage with respect to
`competitors and competing services.

`
`This exhibit contains excerpts of the
`deposition transcript of Amazon
`Principal Engineer and corporate
`designee Matthew Baldwin. In this
`testimony, Mr. Baldwin provides non-
`public and proprietary information
`regarding the operation of Amazon
`Web Services’ CloudFront service.
`The sensitive business information
`which PersonalWeb seeks to file under
`seal meets this standard, as it
`represents Amazon’s trade secrets
`regarding the design and operation of
`the CloudFront service and its cloud
`servers. It includes competitively
`sensitive information regarding the
`technical design and operation of the
`accused CloudFront service, the
`disclosure of which would put Amazon
`at a competitive disadvantage with
`respect to competitors and competing
`services. The way that CloudFront
`internally operates and handles
`requests is competitively sensitive
`because, for example, a competitor
`content delivery network could seek to
`improve their servers’ efficiency and
`performance by mimicking
`CloudFront’s internal caching
`techniques. Public disclosure of this
`highly confidential information would
`put Amazon at undue risk of serious
`harm by revealing trade secrets and
`confidential operational information
