Minute Order Order on Motion to Seal
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Magistrate Judge Elayna J. Youchah on 9/2/2026.
The Court has before it BB8's Renewed Motion to File Exhibits Under Seal (ECF No. 97 ; title shortened). BB8 says it seeks to seal Exhibit C, D, and E to the Declaration John Taylor submitted in connection with its summary judgment briefing. Id. However, in the Declaration of Lillianne Gu, she states: "The fact that Glorium presently makes some of this material available on its own website and Facebook account does not eliminate my concern about additional dissemination through a publicly accessible federal court filing." ECF No. 97-1, para. 9 (emphasis added). Thus, BB8 makes clear that at least some of what it seeks to seal is presently publicly available. That the federal docket would be an "additional source through which the information could be located" does not support a compelling reason to seal and it is that standard BB8 must meet. Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-79 (9th Cir. 2006). Moreover, Ms. Gu's general references to the documents in her declaration fails to establish compelling reasons to seal. Id. Indeed, the Court's review of the Exhibits suggests much of the wording advertises a product that one would presume would be public. BB8 makes no effort, in its 36 page submission, to differentiate public from non-public information. Finally, the Court did not locate redacted versions of Exhibits C, D, or E on the publicly available docket.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that BB8's Renewed Motion to File Exhibits Under Seal (ECF No. 97 ) is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that ECF Nos. 94 and 98 will remain sealed for 14 days to give BB8 time to submit a third motion to seal. That motion must seek to seal only non-public information that qualifies under Ninth Circuit precedent for sealing. The third attempt to seal must be accompanied by the filing of redacted versions of documents sought to be sealed if portions of those documents are publicly available or otherwise do not meet the standard for sealing.
