`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
` Case No.: 21-CV-812 TWR (JLB)
`
`ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF
`TACTION TECHNOLOGY, INC.’S
`UNOPPOSED MOTION TO FILE
`UNDER SEAL
`
`(ECF Nos. 397, 398)
`
`Defendant.
`
`TACTION TECHNOLOGY, INC.,
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`APPLE INC.,
`
`
`
`Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Taction Technology, Inc.’s Unopposed Motion
`to File Portions of Its Opposition to Apple’s Motion for Attorneys’ Fees Under Seal (“Mot.
`to Seal,” ECF No. 397), in which Apple contends that “compelling reasons” exist to file
`under seal portions of Taction’s Opposition to Apple’s Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and
`portions of Exhibit 2 thereto, which consists of excerpts from Dr. James H. Oliver’s
`Corrected Expert Report. (See id. at 1–2.) Specifically, Taction seeks to file under seal
`those portions of its opposition that “cite[] to and discuss[] materials the parties previously
`sought to file under seal,” (see id. at 2; see also ECF No. 397-1 (“Cole Decl.”) ¶ 3), as well
`as those portions of Exhibit 2 that “contain Apple’s confidential technology and product
`development.” (See Mot. to Seal at 3; see also Cole Decl. ¶ 2.)
`Upon a close review of the limited proposed redactions, the Court concludes that
`Taction has demonstrated compelling reasons to file under seal those limited portions of

`
`Exhibit 2 and its Opposition that have been lodged under seal. See, e.g., Orthopaedic Hosp.
`v. Encore Med., L.P., No. 19-CV-970 JLS (AHG), 2021 WL 1966121, at *2 (S.D. Cal.
`Apr. 12, 2021). The Court therefore GRANTS Taction’s Motion to Seal (ECF No. 397),
`and the Clerk of Court SHALL FILE UNDER SEAL the documents previously lodged
`under seal at ECF No. 398.
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`Dated: September 26, 2023
