Order by Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler granting 94 Administrative Motion to File Under Seal. (ejkS, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 10/23/2020) (Entered: 10/23/2020)

PUBLIC-RECORD ORDER DENYING MOTION TO STAY 68 . The attached order is the public-record redacted version of the sealed, unredacted order denying the motion to stay. (See Order - ECF No. 104.) The redacted information is information (filed under seal) about Tencent's mitigation proposal and additional information relevant to prohibited transaction 2. The court granted the unopposed motions to seal based on the representations that the redactions contained Tencent's confidential business information. But now, the government submitted, and the court included in the order, public-record information about the mitigation proposal. (See Order at 5.) Given that context, and the standards for public access to the court's docket, the court asks the parties to revisit their sealing proposals. The court thinks that the two specific entities (Order at 4:11-12, 4:15, and 4:22) might be redacted, and possibly the information relevant to prohibited transaction 2 might be redacted too (id. at 7:21-22 and 13:4-7), but the rest seems fairly in the public domain now. At minimum, given the public-record disclosure, the previous request to seal the mitigation proposal is no longer narrowly tailored under N.D. Cal. Civ. L. R. 79-5(b).The court asks the parties to file a joint statement about their proposed redactions by noon on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 if possible. If that time period is too abbreviated, then they may ask for more time. (Beeler, Laurel) (Filed on 10/23/2020) (Entered: 10/23/2020)

*** ERRONEOUS ENTRY *** ORDER by Judge Laurel Beeler granting 121 Administrative Motion to File Under Seal. The court can decide the pending motion without oral argument and grants Tencent's unopposed motion to maintain its mitigation proposal and related references under seal. See Civil L.R. 7-1(b) (regarding oral argument). The court will file an updated public order reflecting Tencent's updated proposals for redactions. The court also denies Tencent's motion to intervene as moot. (The court can decide Tencent's motion to intervene, but once it intervenes, intervention -- even for discovery -- requires consent to the court's jurisdiction. For a cleaner record, the court asks Tencent to accept (or decline) the court's jurisdiction to decide the sealing issues (and attaches the standard consent form)). Any party is free to accept or decline the court's jurisdiction without substantive consequences. (lblc5S, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 11/24/2020) Modified on 11/25/2020 (mclS, COURT STAFF).
