Nannis v. SB Gaming, LLC

Opinion

1 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA

5] MICHAEL NANNIS, Case No.: 2:19-cv-01894-JAD-NJK 6 Plaintiff(s), y. ORDER (Docket No. 18) SB GAMING LLC, et al., 9 Defendant(s). 10 Pending before the Court is Defendants’ motion for leave to file documents under seal. 11] Docket No. 18. Despite Defendants’ filing of the relevant videos and documents, the request 12] remains unripe. Cf Local Rule IA 10-5. Thus, the Court will deny the motion. 13 The standard under which to determine whether sealing evidence is warranted depends on 14] what the underlying substantive motion (to which the evidence relates) is. See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179-1186 (9th Cir. 2006). Defendants have not yet 16] filed any substantive motion to which the videos and documents relate. Thus, the Court cannot 17|| determine which standard to apply in assessing whether the relevant videos and documents warrant 18] sealing. Until the underlying substantive motion is filed, a request for leave to file documents 19]| under seal remains unripe. 20 Accordingly, Defendants’ motion for leave to file documents under seal is DENIED. Docket No. 18. Further, the Court STRIKES Docket No. 19. 23 Dated: March 31, 2020 le. 24 7. te — ~ 25 United Stare ate Judge 26 27 28
