April 23, 2008 Filing 54 RESPONSE to Motion re 45 MOTION for Summary Judgment and Memorandum of Points and Authorities filed by Vivendi Games, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.. (Genetski, Christian)
April 9, 2008 Opinion or Order Filing 53 ORDER denying 52 Motion to Seal Document. Plaintiff's second motion to seal documents asserts that the Court should grant the request to seal because the parties agreed that the documents in question are confidential and the Court entered a protective order. Dkt. #52 at 1. This argument misreads the Ninth Circuit's Kamakana decision. The Ninth Circuit said in Kamakana that the entry of a protective ordered justifies the sealing of documents only when filed in connection with a non-dispositive motion. 447 F.3d at 1179-1180. Plaintiff seeks to seal documents in connection with a dispositive motion -- a motion for summary judgment. For this, Kamakana makes clear that Plaintiff must satisfy the compelling reasons test, and that the test is not satisfied merely by the previous entry of a protective order. Id. Although Plaintiff asserts that the documents to be sealed include trade secrets, it provides the Court with nothing to support that assertion and certainly does not enable the Court to "base its decision on a compelling reason and articulate the factual basis for its ruling, without relying on hypothesis or conjecture." Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179. Plaintiff's motion is denied one final time without prejudice to Plaintiff making the showing required by the compelling reasons test.

March 31, 2008 Filing 52 Second SEALED MOTION to Seal Document re Exhibits B and I to Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment by MDY Industries, LLC, Michael Donnelly. (Attachments: # 1 Text of Proposed Order Proposed order granting motion to file documents under seal)(Venable, Lance)
March 26, 2008 Opinion or Order Filing 51 ORDER denying 48 Motion to Seal Document. The Ninth Circuit has held that parties must show "compelling reasons" to seal documents submitted in connection with dispositive motions. Kamakana v. City of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006). The motion of Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant asks the Court to permit the filing of motion for summary judgment exhibits under seal because the parties have stipulated to their confidentiality. The motion does not address the Ninth Circuit test and a mere stipulation does not satisfy it. The motion will be denied without prejudice to Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant filing a motion that satisfies the Ninth Circuit standard. Signed by Judge David G Campbell on 3-26-08. This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no PDF document associated with this entry. (DGC)
