[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT MICROSOFT CORPORATION'S ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL ITS DAUBERT MOTION TO EXCLUDE TESTIMONY OF LOOKSMART'S DAMAGES EXPERT, MICHAEL J. LASINSKI AND EXHIBIT A TO THE CHEN DECLARATION IN SUPPORT THEREOF
JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.
On May 14, 2019, Defendant Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") filed a Motion for Administrative Relief with this Court, pursuant to this Court's Standing Order and Civil Local Rule 79-5 for permission to file under seal its Daubert Motion to Exclude Testimony of LookSmart's Damages Expert, Michael J. Lasinski and Exhibit A to the Chen Declaration in Support Thereof.
Microsoft has shown each of those documents is "privileged, protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law." Civil L.R. 79-5(b). Moreover, Microsoft has shown "compelling reasons" to rebut the presumption of access to judicial records for each of those documents. Both documents "might be used . . . as sources of business [or technical] information that might harm [Microsoft's] competitive standing." Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1097 (9th Cir. 2016). Therefore, the Court hereby GRANTS Microsoft's request to file under seal the following documents:
• The highlighted portions of Defendant Microsoft Corporation's Daubert Motion to Exclude Testimony of LookSmart's Damages Expert, Michael J. Lasinski; and
• The highlighted portions of Exhibit A to the Declaration of Betty H. Chen in Support of Defendant Microsoft Corporation's Daubert Motion to Exclude Testimony of LookSmart's Damages Expert, Michael J. Lasinski.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
