Phil Davis v. Zuffa LLC, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Nevada denied without prejudice the plaintiffs’ motions to seal exhibits related to discovery and a joint status report. The court directed the Clerk’s Office to keep the exhibits under seal pending resolution of defendants’ separate motions to seal.

Holdings

1. A stipulated protective order alone does not justify sealing court records.
2. The Clerk's Office was directed to maintain ECF Nos. 85 and 88 under seal until further order while the court considers defendants' motions to seal.

Questions Presented

1. Whether plaintiffs' motions to seal should be granted when they relied primarily on a stipulated protective order.
2. Whether the documents should remain temporarily under seal while the defendants' later-filed motions to seal are considered.
