`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
` Case No.: 21-CV-812 TWR (JLB)
`
`ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT
`APPLE INC.’S UNOPPOSED
`MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL
`
`(ECF Nos. 387, 388)
`
`Defendant.
`
`TACTION TECHNOLOGY, INC.,
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`APPLE INC.,
`
`
`
`Presently before the Court is Defendant Apple Inc.’s Unopposed Motion to File
`Under Seal Portions of Apple’s Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of
`Apple’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Exhibits 1–2 (“Mot. to Seal,” ECF No. 387), in
`which Apple contends that “[c]ompelling reasons exist” to file under seal “Apple’s
`Memorandum and accompanying Exhibits 1–2[,] . . . [which] ha[ve] been designated as
`Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only and contain[] Apple’s sensitive confidential business
`and technical information.” (See id. at 1.) Specifically, Apple seeks to file under seal a
`single phrase repeated in Exhibit 1, which consists of excerpts from the April 20, 2023
`deposition of James H. Oliver, Ph.D., (see ECF No. 388-1), and another single phrase
`appearing in Exhibit 2, which consists of excerpts from the Court’s July 27, 2023 hearing
`on Apple’s motion for summary judgment. (See ECF No. 388-2.) Apple also contends
`that its “proposed redactions are consistent with the redactions proposed in parties’ prior

`
`
`motions for leave to file under seal that the Court has granted.” (See Mot. to Seal at 1
`(citing ECF Nos. 314, 332).)
`Upon a close review of the limited proposed redactions, the Court concludes that
`Apple has demonstrated compelling reasons to file under seal those limited portions of
`Exhibits 1 and 2 and its Memorandum that have been lodged under seal. See, e.g., Mezzadri
`v. Med. Depot, Inc., No. 14-cv-2330, 2015 WL 12564223, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 2015).
`The Court therefore GRANTS Apple’s Motion to Seal (ECF No. 387), and the Clerk of
`Court SHALL FILE UNDER SEAL the documents previously lodged under seal at ECF
`No. 388.
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`Dated: August 31, 2023
