`DOCUMENTS [Dkt. 863]
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Third Parties, Brilliant Digital Entertainment, Inc. (“BDE”), Monto Holdings Pty Ltd.
`(“Monto”), Europlay Capital Advisors, LLC (“ECA”), and Claria Innovations, LLC (“Claria”)
`(collectively, “Secured Lenders”) hereby respond to Amazon’s administrative motion (“Motion”)
`under Local Civil Rule 7-11 pending the Court’s ruling on whether same should be sealed pursuant
`to Local Rule 79-5.
`Amazon filed this Motion at 11:46 p.m., Friday, April 7, 2023, providing Secured Lenders
`with a total of four calendar days (two of which are over the Easter weekend) to respond with respect
`to not only portions of Amazon’s supplemental brief filed in connection with its motion to compel,
`but with respect to the Exhibits to the Gregorian Decl., plus an Exhibit 2 to the supplemental brief,
`that is a Gregorian Decl. provisionally filed under seal in the State Court Receivership Action in
`Opposition to Secured Lenders’ anti-SLAPP motion directed at Amazon’s complaint-in-
`intervention, which attaches 90 Exhibits, the majority of which comprise documents produced by
`Secured Lenders in response to the third party subpoenas pursuant to the Stipulated Amended
`Protective Order.
`Secured Lenders respectfully submit that it is overly burdensome to require them to respond
`as to each document that Amazon has filed under seal in the time frame stated in LR 79-5.
`Moreover, where, as here, the documents are filed in connection with a non-dispositive discovery
`motion, the Ninth Circuit has held that the strong presumption of public access to filed documents
`does not apply. Thus, when the Court has already decided that certain documents should be shielded
`from public access pursuant to a protective order, the party designating same as confidential or
`attorneys eyes only is not required to come forward with a showing of good cause for sealing when
`such documents are filed with a non-dispositive motion. Phillips ex rel Estate of Byrd v. General

`
`
`
`Motion Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir. 2002). This rule should also apply here because no
`third party seeks discovery of these documents.
`Moreover, Secured Lenders respectfully submit that the resources of this Court are better
`utilized focusing on the merits of Amazon’s underlying motion to compel as opposed to being side-
`tracked on a document-by-document determination of good cause for the claimed confidentiality
`treatment.
`Accordingly, Secured Lenders request that the Court enter the proposed order granting
`Amazon’s motion.
