JAVIER JIMENEZ,

Case No. 1:09-cv-01359 JLT (PC)
Plaintiff,
13
vs.
14
ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO SEAL
S. ALCALA, et al.,
(Doc. 35)
15
Defendants.
16

Before the Court is the Request to Seal Documents, filed by defense counsel related to their
18
motion to withdraw. (Doc. 35) To make this determination, the Court must evaluate whether “‘good
19
cause’ exists to protect th[e] information from being disclosed to the public by balancing the needs for
20
discovery against the need for confidentiality.’” Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass'n, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th
21
Cir. 2010) (quoting Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir.
22
2002))
23
Because the documents sought to be sealed relate to confidential and privileged attorney-client
24
communications and attorney work product, the Court finds that the need to maintain the confidentiality
25
of this material outweighs the need for public disclosure.
26
Therefore, good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS:
27
1.
28
The entirety of the Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Beeson
Terhorst LLP’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel, electronically lodged on June 22, 2011;
