DZ Reserve v. Meta Platforms, Inc.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 DZ RESERVE, et al., Case No. 3:18-cv-04978-JD

Plaintiffs,

ORDER RE OMNIBUS MOTION TO

v. SEAL

META PLATFORMS, INC., Re: Dkt. No. 325 Defendant.

12 At the Court’s direction, see Dkt. Nos. 253, 320, the parties filed a joint omnibus motion to seal portions of over one hundred documents, Dkt. No. 325. The parties also submitted requests to seal on behalf of third-party Amazing.com. Id. The documents the parties seek to seal are related primarily to DZ Reserve’s motion for class certification and various motions to exclude expert witnesses, which are not dispositive proceedings. See Dkt. Nos. 325-1, 325-2, and 325-3. The Court concludes that the parties have met their burden for “articulat[ing] compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings that outweigh the general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosures.” See In re Google Play Store Antitrust Litig., --- F. Supp. 3d ---, 2021 WL 4190165,…
