For example, the Parties seek to protect discoverable 24 || documents and materials relating to items such as (1) the materials, policies and procedures, and 25 || business plans for Plaintiff and other applicants who submitted applications to Defendant (“Other 26 || Applicants”) for a marijuana license, (2) Plaintiff's and other Applicants’ board members, owners 27 || and other persons who submitted personal information, including but not limited to banking and 28 || financial information, in support of Plaintiff's and Other Applicants’ applications for a marijuana

The basis for this Motion is several fold: 1) to protect confidential and sensitive 5 |] and confidential information as this matter deals with applications for a marijuana license issues, 6 || 2) to protect confidential and sensitive personal and/or business information, and 3) to protect 7 || disclosure of trade secrets and other confidential information resulting from Plaintiff's and Other 8 || Applicants’ investment of millions of dollars from the public and/or competitors.

In 13 || addition, it would place Plaintiff and Other Applicants at a disadvantage competitively because a 14 |] they could lose the edge they have over other similar businesses that have not made similar ~ 15 || investments in training, development of systems, and procedures. Moreover, it could lead to fraud □ 5 16 || and identity theft because Defendant and Other Applicants’ owners, members and other persons * 17 || provided personal financial information, which could lead to this information be used to harm 2 18 |] these persons’ personal interest. Lastly, some of the information may involve Defendant’s 19 || computer systems, including but not limited to information about its network, which could provide CO 20 | a path for hackers to use this information and compromise Defendant’s computer systems.
