Dukes et al v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Doc. 1150 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA United States District Court For the Northern District of California 10 11 BETTY DUKES, PATRICIA SURGESON, EDITH ARANA, DEBORAH GUNTER, and CHRISTINE KWAPNOSKI, 13 Plaintiffs, 14 12 15 16 17 No. 3:01-cv-2252-CRB ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO SEAL v. WAL-MART STORES, INC., Defendant. / 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Now before the Court is Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.’s amended administrative motion to seal records in connection with its motions for summary judgment. In a series of initial motions, Wal-Mart sought to seal voluminous records that extended far beyond the “compelling reasons” standard that governs the sealing of documents in support of dispositive motions. See Order Re Administrative Motions to Seal (dkt. 1129) (describing motions); Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1177 (9th Cir. 2006) (describing legal standard). In response, the Court ordered Wal-Mart to reassess its initial motion and seek to seal only a narrowly tailored list of documents in compliance with the applicable standard. See Order Re Administrative Motions to Seal. As stated in that Order, when a motion to seal is made in connection with dispositive motions, there is “a strong presumption in favor of access to court records.” See Foltz v. Dockets.Justia.com 1 State Farm Mutual Auto. Insurance Company, 331 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir. 2003). “When 2 discovery material is filed with the court . . . its status changes. If the documents are not 3 among those which have ‘traditionally been kept secret for important policy reasons,’ then 4 ‘the public policy reasons behind a presumption of access to judicial documents (judicial 5 accountability, education about the judicial process etc.),’ apply.” Id. at 1134 (quoting Times 6 Mirror Co. v. United States, 873 F.2d 1210, 1219 (9th Cir. 1989) and Phillips ex rel. Estates 7 of Byrd v. General Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir. 2002)). Thus, a party must 8 have “compelling reasons” to justify sealing court records; examples of such justification 9 exist “‘when such court files might have become a vehicle for improper purposes,’ such as United States District Court For the Northern District of California 10 the use of records to gratify private spite, promote public scandal, circulate libelous 11 statements, or release trade secrets.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (quoting Nixon v. Warner 12 Communications, 435 U.S. 589, 598 (1978)). “The mere fact that the production of records 13 may lead to a litigant’s embarrassment, incrimination, or exposure to further litigation will 14 not, without more, compel the court to seal its records.” Id. (citing Foltz, 331 F.3d at 1136). The Court has carefully reviewed Wal-Mart’s amended motion to seal in light of the 15 16 Court’s order that Wal-Mart narrowly tailor its requests to those that comply strictly with the 17 “compelling reasons” standard. As detailed in the following tables, the Court finds that the 18 material Wal-Mart identified is in large part sealable, with the exception of several items 19 falling into two categories: 1) information related to the Plaintiffs; and 2) information 20 relevant to the underlying issues of this suit. The items that may be sealed fall into three 21 broad categories: 1) trade secrets; 2) non-party personal information; and 3) non-party 22 employment information. The Court hereby ORDERS the parties to file on the public record the items indicated 23 24 in the tables below as non-sealable (“NS”) within ten (10) days of the entry of this Order. 25 All other items shall remain under seal. 26 // 27 // 28 // 2 1 EXHIBITS TO THE DECLARATION OF RACHEL S.
