ORDER DENYING ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL
WILLIAM ALSUP, District Judge.
Our analysis begins with a "strong presumption" in favor of access to court records. Foltz v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, 331 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir. 2003). When the "good cause" standard applies there must be a "particularized showing" that specific harm or prejudice will result if the information is disclosed. Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179-80 (9th Cir. 2006). Furthermore, Civil Local Rule 79-5(b) requires administrative motions to file under seal to "be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material." Here, no good cause has been shown to seal all of Exhibits A through F to the complaint. Accordingly, plaintiff's overbroad sealing motion is DENIED.
Plaintiff may file a renewed administrative motion to file under seal by JULY 2 AT NOON. If the renewed motion is not narrowly tailored, it will be denied in its entirety.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
