8 Plaintiffs, ORDER RE SEALING REQUEST v. 9 Re: Dkt. No. 10 10 SALESFORCE.COM, INC., Defendant. 11

12 13 The Court has addressed the standards for sealing requests in conjunction with case filings, 14 see In re Google Play Store Antitrust Litigation, --- F. Supp. 3d ---,

, (N.D. Cal. 15 Aug. 25, 2021), and that decision is incorporated here. In pertinent summary, “judicial records are 16 public documents almost by definition, and the public is entitled to access by default.”

at *1 17 (quoting Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu,

(9th Cir. 2006)); see 18 also Center for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Group, LLC,

(9th Cir. 2016) (when 19 considering a request to seal, “we start with a strong presumption in favor of access to court 20 records.”) (quotation omitted). The party seeking to seal a complaint bears the burden of 21 articulating “compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings that outweigh the general 22 history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure.” Google Play,

, at 23 *1 (quotation and citation omitted). General assertions of potential competitive or commercial 24 harm are not enough to establish good cause for sealing court records, and the “fact that the parties 25 may have designated a document as confidential under a stipulated protective order is also not 26 enough to justify sealing.”

Consequently, the 3 motion to seal is granted. The parties are advised that this is an interlocutory determination, and 4 || the Court may unseal these materials as warranted later in the case. 5 IT IS SO ORDERED. 6 Dated: March 29, 2022 7 8 JAME ATO 9 United Jfates District Judge 10 11 12
