IN RE: DA VINCI SURGICAL ROBOT Case No. 21-cv-03825-AMO ANTITRUST LITIGATION OMNIBUS ORDER RE: SEALING
Before the Court are the Parties’ and Third-Parties’ Administrative Motions to Seal, Motions to Consider Sealing Third-Party Materials, Statements in Support of Sealing, Declarations in Support of Sealing, and associated exhibits, at ECF 125, 128, 129, 130, 132, 134, 135, 137, 138, 139, 143, 150, 152, 155, 165, 168, 170, 171, 179, 180, 182, 186, 187. The Court, having carefully considered the submissions, the record, the applicable law, and any arguments related thereto, hereby orders that the Administrative Motions are GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, the party seeking to file a document or portions of it under seal must explain “(i) the legitimate private or public interests that warrant sealing; (ii) the injury that will result if sealing is denied; and (iii) why a less restrictive alternative to sealing is not sufficient.” Civil L.R. 79-5(c)(1). The request must be “narrowly tailored to seal only the sealable material.” Id. at 79-5(c)(3). A party seeking to seal records must provide “compelling reasons” to overcome the “strong presumption in favor of access.” Kamakana v. City & Cty. Of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, Cir. 2016). The standard derives from the “common law right ‘to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.’” Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178). To overcome this strong presumption, the party seeking to seal judicial records must “articulate compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings . . . that outweigh the general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure, such as the public interest in understanding the judicial process.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178-79 (citations omitted). The party must make a “particularized showing” 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). It is in the “sound discretion of the trial court” to determine what constitutes a “compelling reason” for sealing a court document. Ctr. for Auto Safety, 809 F.3d at 1097 (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978)). Compelling reasons justifying sealing court records generally exist when such “court files might . . . become a vehicle for improper purposes” such as “releas[ing] trade secrets,” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179, or “as sources of business information that might harm a litigant’s competitive standing,” Ctr. for Auto Safety, 809 F.3d at 1097; see In re Elec. Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2008) (sealing trade secret information about “the pricing terms, royalty rates, and guaranteed minimum payment terms” in the parties’ licensing agreement). Records attached to nondispositive motions must meet the lower “good cause” standard of Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as such records “are often unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179-80 (quotations omitted). The Court finds that compelling reasons exist to support the filing under seal of the documents or portions thereof listed as “granted” in the following chart and grants the requests to seal these documents or portions thereof where they appear on the public docket. The Court denies the request to seal any documents or portions thereof (1) listed as “denied” in the following Party had designated them as confidential or highly confidential under the protective order but that were not included in the below chart because no Party or Third-Party filed a statement or declaration seeking to maintain them under seal pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(f). The Court appreciates the efforts of counsel to prepare the chart below, including citations to the relevant docket entries. The Court notes that, while it grants sealing many of the documents presented at this stage, it will be disinclined to permit sealing of materials presented in a public trial.
