TO THE COURT, THE PARTIES, AND ALL COUNSEL OF RECORD: 
 
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Respondent Benworth Capital Partners, LLC (“Benworth”) will 
and hereby does move the Court to consider whether Benworth’s Opposition to Respondent Oto 
Analytics, LLC f/k/a Oto Analytics, Inc., d/b/a Womply (“Womply”)’s Motion to Confirm Arbitration 
Award and for Entry of Judgment, which contains certain material designated as “Confidential” or that 
otherwise discloses potentially confidential, proprietary, or private information, should be sealed. 
Benworth files this motion to comply with Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5, as well as the Stipulated 
Protective Order entered in the underlying arbitration and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules 
and Procedures, which governed the arbitration. 
Material To Be Filed Under Seal 
 
Womply filed this action seeking to confirm an arbitral award. The arbitration was governed by 
the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. JAMS Rule 26(a) provides that “JAMS 
and the Arbitrator shall maintain the confidential nature of the Arbitration proceeding and the Award, 
including the Hearing, except as necessary in connection with a judicial challenge to or enforcement of 
an Award, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.” In addition, Paragraph 12.3 of the 
Stipulated Protective Order entered in the arbitration requires materials designated as “Confidential” 
(i.e., “Protected Material”) to be filed under seal. “Protected Material” includes information (regardless 
of how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible thing that contain trade secrets, proprietary 
business information, competitively sensitive information, personally sensitive or private information, 
or any other information, documents, or testimony not previously disclosed to the public. See Stipulated 
Protective Order, ¶¶ 2.2, 2.5, & 2.12.  
 
In accordance with Civil Local Rule 79-5(f), Benworth submits this Administrative Motion 
because its Opposition contains certain information that Womply has claimed or may claim is 
confidential. Womply has the burden to justify its claims of confidentiality and to establish that the 
designated information is sealable. Civ. L.R. 79-5(f)(3) & (c)(1). In the interim, Benworth is 
provisionally submitting the following information under seal:
