ORDER GRANTING THOMSONS' ADMINISTRATIVE MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO FILE UNDER SEAL
SAMUEL CONTI, District Judge.
Now before the Court are two administrative motions for leave to file under seal submitted by the Thomson Defendants.1 ECF Nos. 2782 ("Deadline Mot."), 2783 ("Depo. Mot."). The motions seek leave to file under seal Exhibit A to the Declaration of Stephen Judge, ECF Nos. 2782-1 ("Judge Deadline Decl.") Ex. A; 2783-1 ("Judge Depo. Decl.") Ex. A (collectively, the "Judge Declarations"), as well as portions of two briefs filed by Thomson Defendants in opposition to discovery motions filed by the Direct Action Plaintiffs ("DAPs").
As required by Civil Local Rule 79-5, counsel for Thomson Defendants, Stephen Judge, filed declarations in support of both motions discussing the materials to be sealed, referencing prior orders sealing materials referenced in their briefing, and noting that Samsung SDI designated Exhibit A to the Judge Declarations as confidential pursuant to the parties' stipulated protective order, ECF No. 1142. Judge Deadline Decl. ¶¶ 2, 9-11; Judge Depo. Decl. ¶¶ 2, 9-10. Subsequently, as required by Civil Local Rule 79-5(e), counsel for Samsung SDI filed a declaration establishing the sealability of Exhibit A to the Judge Declarations. ECF No. 2813 ("Cunningham Decl.").
Accordingly, leave to file under seal is GRANTED as to:

Action Plaintiffs' Motion to Issue a Letter of 3:24; 4:3-5. ECF

to Take Depositions in France.
Nevertheless, counsel for Thomson Defendants failed to comply with the local rules by not submitting a proposed order with their administrative motions for leave to file under seal. See Civ. L.R. 79-5(d)(1)(B). Counsel for all parties are reminded that if they fail to comply with the requirements of Civil Local Rule 79-5, they risk denial of their motions for leave to file under seal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
