ORDER granting 56 Joint Motion for Approval of Stipulation and Order Governing Protection and Exchange of Confidential Information. The Court notes, however, that the Stipulation and Order of Confidentiality shall not effect the parties' obligations regarding documents sought to be filed under seal pursuant to Local Rule 5(e). In accordance with that rule, if the parties seek to seal specific documents, they must file an accompanying motion to seal that includes sufficient factual and legal authority to enable the Court to make "particularized findings demonstrating that sealing is supported by clear and compelling reasons and is narrowly tailored to serve those reasons." Signed by Judge Vanessa L. Bryant on 7/9/11. (Engel, J.) (Entered: 07/09/2011)
