IN RE NCAA STUDENT-ATHLETE NAME AND LIKENESS LICENSING LITIGATION


ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO

SEAL


Re: Dkt. Nos. 747, 782

Antitrust Plaintiffs move to file under seal materials submitted in support of their reply brief for class certification. Under Civil Local Rule 79-5, NCAA, EA, CLC, and several nonparties filed declarations in support of redacting and sealing the materials. For the reasons discussed below, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART the motion to seal.

I. LEGAL STANDARD

There is a presumption of public access to judicial records and documents. Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 (1978). "[T]he resolution of a dispute on the merits, whether by trial or summary judgment, is at the heart of the interest in ensuring the public's understanding of the judicial process and of significant public events." Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006) (internal citation and quotation omitted). The policy of public access "do[es] not apply with equal force to nondispositive materials." Id. Accordingly, a party seeking to file a motion to seal in connection with a nondispositive motion must show only "good cause" under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c). In re Midland Nat'l Life Ins. Co. Annuity Sales Practices Litig., 686 F.3d 1115, 1119 (9th Cir. 2012); Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass'n, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th Cir. 2010) ("In light of the weaker public interest in nondispositive materials, we apply the 'good cause' standard when parties wish to keep them under seal."). Courts in this district have generally considered motions for class certification nondispositive. Rich v. Hewlett-Packard Co., No. 06-cv-03361 JF, 2009 WL 2168688, *1 (N.D. Cal. July 20, 2009) (finding the procedural requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 not dispositive of the merits of plaintiffs' claims and applying good cause standard to motion to seal).

Sealing is appropriate only where the requesting party "establishes that the document, or portions thereof is privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law." Civil L. R. 79-5(a). "[S]ources of business information that might harm a litigant's competitive standing" often warrant protection under seal. Nixon, 435 U.S. at 598. But, "the party seeking protection bears the burden of showing specific prejudice or harm will result," Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), and must make a "particularized showing of good cause with respect to any individual document," San Jose Mercury News, Inc. v. U.S. Dist. Court, N. Dist. (San Jose), 187 F.3d 1096, 1103 (9th Cir. 1999). "Broad allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples or articulated reasoning" are insufficient. BeckmanIndus., Inc. v. Int'l Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 470, 476 (9th Cir. 1992). In addition, a party must "narrowly tailor" its request to sealable material only. Civil L. R. 79-5(a).

II. DISCUSSION

Antitrust Plaintiffs move to seal portions of their reply brief, exhibits to the declaration of Sathya S. Gosselin in Support of Class Certification, portions of the Expert Report of Daniel A. Rascher in Support of Class Certification, and portions of the Reply Report on Class Certification of Roger G. Noll. Dkt. Nos. 747, 782. Antitrust Plaintiffs identified and proposed redactions to these documents which no party supports sealing. If the proposed redaction or sealing is not specifically addressed by the Court in the chart below, it is DENIED.

The Court has considered the assertions of good cause in the parties' declarations and ORDERS as follows:

No. 626. ¦ ¦ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

In addition, T3Media submitted a declaration in support of sealing its confidential information cited in Exhibits 4-70B of the Noll Reply Report. Dkt. No. 758. T3Media asserted that it was unable to specifically identify which parts of the report should be redacted because Antitrust Plaintiffs did not share a copy of their unredacted filing with T3Media. Consequently, the Court cannot determine which portions of the Noll Reply Report should be reviewed for T3Media's confidential material.

Noll lists documents TEM 0579-0613 among the documents he considered in creating his report. No specific references or citations to those documents are contained within the report, however. T3Media is mentioned on page 73 of the report, but no confidential information is revealed there either. Notwithstanding these hurdles, Exhibits 4-70B have been redacted, and so to the extent that T3Media's information was used in compiling the data therein, the redactions will ensure that T3Media is not competitively harmed by producing documents for a litigation to which it is not a party.

III. CONCLUSION

In accordance with the above, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Antitrust Plaintiffs' motion to seal materials submitted in support of its reply brief. Antitrust Plaintiffs must re-file their reply brief and supporting exhibits and reports, redacted as ordered, within four days. Civil L. R. 79-5(e).

Any party may object to this order within fourteen days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
