In re Sandisk SSDs Litigation

Summary

The United States District Court for the Northern District of California ruled on Plaintiffs’ administrative motion to seal documents submitted in support of a discovery letter brief. The court granted Defendants’ request to keep Exhibits G and J under seal based on potential competitive harm, denied the motion as to the remaining exhibits, and ordered Plaintiffs to file unredacted copies by May 15, 2025.

Holdings

1. Exhibits G and J should remain under seal because good cause was shown to protect their technical details from disclosure and the resulting competitive harm.
2. The administrative motion was denied as to all other exhibits because the record did not support sealing them based solely on Defendants' confidentiality designations.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Exhibits G and J should remain under seal because good cause supported protecting their technical contents from disclosure.
2. Whether the other exhibits at issue should be filed under seal based solely on Defendants' confidentiality designations.
