Summary
The Court granted LIV Golf's Renewed Administrative Motion to Seal, finding that the documents at issue contained confidential business information, financial information, and internal decision-making processes that warranted sealing under the good cause standard. The Court also granted the majority of the sealing previously requested by LIV Golf and ordered that public versions of the documents be available with the approved redactions. The sealing is narrowly tailored to confidential information.

ORDER GRANTING LIV GOLF, INC.'S RENEWED ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO SEAL; REQUIRING FILING OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS ADDRESSED IN ECF NO. 501

*1 Presently before the Court is Plaintiff LIV Golf, Inc.'s (“LIV Golf”) Renewed Administrative Motion to Seal (the “Motion”). See Mot., ECF No. 505. LIV Golf filed the Motion pursuant to the Court's Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part The New York Times Co.'s Motion to Unseal (“Order Regarding Unsealing”). See Mot. 1; see also Order Re Unsealing, ECF No. 501. The Order Regarding Unsealing concerned non-party The New York Times Company's (“NYT”) motion to unseal certain judicial records in this action related to the Court's jurisdiction over the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“PIF”) and His Excellency Yasir Othman Al-Rumayyan (“HE”), and its determinations that PIF and HE were not shielded by sovereign immunity. See Order Re Unsealing 1.
For the reasons discussed below, LIV Golf's Motion is GRANTED.
I. BACKGROUND[1]
A. Parties and Claims
In August 2022, several professional golfers filed suit against Defendant PGA Tour, Inc. (“PGA Tour”) asserting breach of contract and multiple violations of federal and California antitrust laws based on PGA Tour's alleged interference with their participation in the launch of a competing professional golf tour by LIV Golf. See ECF No. 1. An amended complaint followed in which LIV Golf appeared as a plaintiff alongside the professional golfers. See ECF No. 83. In September 2022, PGA Tour brought a counterclaim against LIV Golf for tortious interference with contract. See ECF No. 108. PGA Tour subsequently moved to compel discovery from (then) non-parties PIF and HE. See ECF No. 148. Following motion practice and oral argument, Magistrate Judge van Keulen issued an order (the “Discovery Order”) on February 9, 2023, granting PGA Tour's motion to compel. See ECF Nos. 265, 380.
PIF and HE became defendants in this action on February 23, 2023, after the Court granted PGA Tour leave to amend its counterclaim. See ECF Nos. 238, 280, 289. Shortly thereafter, on February 28, 2023, PIF and HE filed a motion for de novo review and relief from the Discovery Order; the Court denied the motion. See ECF Nos. 306, 392.
B. NYT's Motion to Unseal
On June 16, 2023, NYT filed the pending Motion to Unseal, which was filed as a Motion for an Order to Intervene and for an Order Unsealing Court Records. See ECF No. 460.[2] NYT initially requested that the Court review the entire docket and “appropriately unseal records,” id. at 1, but subsequently narrowed the scope of its request to records regarding “PIF and [HE]'s claims that they are not subject to the court's jurisdiction and are shielded by sovereign immunity,” Reply 3, ECF No. 473. Specifically, NYT stated that it sought access to the following documents and their attachments: ECF Nos. 148, 166, 169, 173, 209, 223-1, 225,[3] 230, 238, 265/380,[4] 322, and 436. Reply 10. Further, NYT asserted in its Reply that although several of the records at issue had initially been reviewed under the lower, “good cause” sealing standard, subsequent case developments meant that the Court should apply the more stringent, “compelling reasons” sealing standard. Reply 4–5. The Court heard oral argument on the Motion to Unseal on August 3, 2023. See Aug. 3, 2023 Hr'g Tr., ECF No. 482. Because NYT had raised new arguments in its Reply, the Court permitted LIV to file a supplemental brief regarding whether the sealing standard had changed based on the posture of the case. See id. at 35:5–6; see also Sur-Reply, ECF No. 485.
C. Order Regarding Intervention
*2 The Court issued an order on August 24, 2023 (the “Order Regarding Intervention”), granting NYT's request to intervene, denying NYT's motion to unseal with respect to ECF No. 436, finding that the sealing standard had not changed, and ordering LIV Golf to file a statement in support of maintaining under seal any currently-sealed information in the remaining documents to which NYT seeks access. See Order Re Intervention, ECF No. 497. The Court emphasized that LIV Golf's requests to seal were to be appropriately tailored to redact only sealable information. Id. at 11. LIV Golf submitted its statement in support of sealing on September 7, 2023.
D. Order Regarding Unsealing
On October 5, 2023, the Court issued the Order Regarding Unsealing. Although that order concerned the remainder of NYT's motion to unseal not addressed by the Order Regarding Intervention, the Court, in the interest of clarity, fashioned its rulings as responsive to LIV Golf's requests to maintain information under seal, such that a ruling of “GRANT” maintained sealing as a rejection of NYT's motion to unseal. See Order Re Unsealing 7. Of the 63 documents remaining at issue after the Order Regarding Intervention, 59 were related to discovery disputes and 4 were related to PGA Tour's motion for leave to amend its counterclaim to add PIF and HE as defendants. See id. at 5–31 (discovery disputes), 32–34 (counterclaim).
1. Discovery-Related Documents
The Court found the 59 documents related to discovery disputes were subject to the good cause standard for sealing, and that LIV Golf had shown the 59 documents—which disclosed confidential information regarding LIV Golf's formation; strategic launch plans; financials; internal decision-making processes; negotiations with players, agents, and sponsors; and a Shareholders' Agreement that remains under seal—met this standard. See id. at 5, 7. However, the Court determined that LIV Golf's sealing requests for 35 of those documents were not narrowly tailored, as required by the Northern District of California's Civil Local Rules, and accordingly denied LIV Golf's requests to maintain those documents under seal. See id. at 7–31. LIV Golf no longer sought sealing of 5 of the 59 discovery-related documents. See id. at 11, 13, 17, 22–23. With respect to another 5 of the 59 documents, LIV Golf no longer sought sealing except to redact email addresses for privacy. See Order Re Unsealing 16, 19, 23–24. The Court granted LIV Golf's requests to maintain under seal the remaining 14 discovery-related documents, although it requested additional statements with respect to 3 of those 14 documents. See id. at 13, 28, 31, 34–35.
2. Counterclaim Documents
The Court found the 4 documents related to PGA Tour's counterclaim were subject to the compelling reasons standard for sealing under the common law and the substantial interest in privacy standard under the First Amendment, and that LIV Golf had shown the four documents met both standards. See id. at 32–33. The Court denied LIV Golf's sealing request for 1 document for lack of sufficient tailoring, and granted LIV Golf's request to maintain under seal the other 3 documents. See id. at 33–34.
3. Permission to File Renewed Administrative Motion
The Order Regarding Unsealing permitted LIV Golf to file an administrative motion to maintain under seal any document for which the Court denied its sealing request due to insufficient tailoring. See id. at 35. The order also permitted LIV Golf to include in such an administrative motion its additional statements regarding the three discovery-related documents for which the Court had requested or permitted clarification. See id. at 34–35. Lastly, the order required LIV Golf to file on the public docket, with the appropriate redactions (if any), all documents not included in an administrative motion to maintain under seal. See id. at 35.
E. LIV Golf's Renewed Administrative Motion to Maintain Under Seal
*3 On October 20, 2023, LIV Golf filed the instant Motion. See Mot. The Motion requests maintenance under seal, with additional proposed tailoring, for the 35 discovery-related documents and single counterclaim document that the Court found insufficiently tailored. See Mot., App'x A (“App'x A”) 1–23, ECF No. 505-1. LIV Golf additionally provided further clarifying statements regarding the 3 discovery-related documents identified by the Court in the Order Regarding Unsealing for further response, so that a total of 39 documents are at issue in the Motion. See id. at 23–26. No party or non-party filed a response to the Motion.
II. LEGAL STANDARD
A. Federal Common Law
“Historically, courts have recognized a ‘general right to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.’ ” Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 & n.7 (1978)). Accordingly, “a ‘strong presumption in favor of access’ is the starting point,” id. (quoting Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir. 2003)), and a party opposing a motion to unseal judicial records bears the burden of overcoming the presumption. See Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1096–98 (9th Cir. 2016) (reviewing standards to file under seal borne by party seeking sealing in evaluating nonparty intervenor's motion to unseal document).
Parties seeking to maintain under seal judicial records relating to motions that are “more than tangentially related to the merits of a case,” Ctr. for Auto Safety, 809 F.3d at 1101, must show “compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings that outweigh the general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178–79 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). However, the strong presumption of public access does not apply to judicial records relating to motions that are not related, or are only tangentially related, to the merits of a case. Ctr. for Auto Safety, 809 F.3d at 1099; see also Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (“[T]he public has less of a need for access to court records attached only to non-dispositive motions because those documents are often unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action.”). Where such records are at issue, a party opposing unsealing “need only satisfy the less exacting ‘good cause’ standard.” Ctr. for Auto Safety, 809 F.3d at 1097.
B. First Amendment
The First Amendment provides a right of access to various types of judicial records. See Courthouse News Serv. v. Planet, 947 F.3d 581, 590 (9th Cir. 2020). Courts apply an “experience and logic” test to evaluate “the institutional value of public access to judicial proceedings and records to determine whether the First Amendment provides a presumption of access.” Id. “To determine whether a First Amendment right of access attaches to a type of judicial proceeding or record, we consider (1) whether that proceeding or record ‘ha[s] historically been open to the press and general public’ and (2) ‘whether public access plays a significant positive role in the functioning of the particular [governmental] process in question.’ ” Id. (quoting Press-Enter. Co. v. Super. Ct., 478 U.S. 1, 8 (1986)).
C. Civil Local Rules
The Local Rules of this Court additionally require that all requests to seal be “narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(a). That is, the sealing motion must include “a specific statement of the applicable legal standard and the reasons for keeping a document under seal, including an explanation of: (i) the legitimate private or public interests that warrant sealing; (ii) the injury that will result if sealing is denied; and (iii) why a less restrictive alternative to sealing is not sufficient.” Id. at 79-5(c)(1).
III. DISCUSSION
*4 The Court has previously determined that each document at issue in LIV Golf's Motion meets its respective standard for sealing, whether good cause, see Order Re Unsealing 5–7, or compelling reasons and substantial interest in privacy, see id. at 32–33. Accordingly, the Court need only determine whether LIV Golf's proposed redactions are “narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” Civ. L.R. 79-5(a).
The Court has reviewed the proposed redactions for each of the 39 documents at issue in the Motion. LIV Golf has tailored and further clarified its redaction requests pursuant to the Court's statements in the Order Regarding Unsealing. The Court finds the proposed redactions to be narrowly tailored in accordance with Civil Local Rule 79-5(a), and accordingly GRANTS the Motion, as described in the chart below.
