Mikhail Cirkunovs v. Zuffa LLC, et al.

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 4 ok 4 Mikhail Cirkunovs, Case No. 2:25-cv-00914-RFB-BNW 5 Plaintiffs, ‘ ORDER 7 Zuffa LLC, et al., 8 Defendants.

10 Plaintiffs filed a motion to seal certain exhibits in support of its statement regarding || missing discovery (at ECF No. 72). ECF No. 73. They also filed a motion to seal certain exhibits || to the October 2025 joint status report (at ECF No. 75). ECF No. 76. The sealed documents are || currently at ECF Nos. 74 and 77. Plaintiffs rely on the protective order entered into by the parties || as the rationale for sealing/redacting documents in both motions. Stipulated protective orders || alone do not justify sealing court records. Kamakana vy. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, |} 1183 (9th Cir. 2006).

17 Rather than respond to these motions, Defendants filed their own motions to seal the same || documents identified in Plaintiffs’ motions. ECF Nos. 79 and 84.

19 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motions to seal (ECF Nos. 73 and 76) || are DENIED without prejudice. It appears it is Defendants who wish to maintain the documents || in question under seal given the motions they filed at ECF Nos. 79 and 84. Thus, this Court will || resolve those motions in due course. However, the Clerk’s Office is directed to maintain ECF || Nos. 74 and 77 under seal until further orders from the Court.
