interests,” and routinely permit “redacting documents to protect the privacy interests of innocent 
third parties.”  United States v. Business of Custer Battlefield Museum & Store, 658 F.3d 1188, 
1195 n.5 (9th Cir. 2011) (collecting cases).  The parties seek highly targeted redactions of the name 
and email address of an individual non-party loan applicant and the personal email address of the 
Arbitrator.  This information is not relevant to the merits of this action and its disclosure risks 
violating the privacy of non-parties to this action.  See, e.g., Splunk Inc. v, Cribl, Inc., 2024 WL 
3912261, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 19, 2024) (holding that redaction of “personally identifying 
information unrelated to the merits is warranted for privacy”); Am. Auto. Ass'n of N. Cal., Nev., & 
Utah v. General Motors LLC, 2019 WL 1206748, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 14, 2019) (permitting 
redaction of personally identifiable information, “including names, addresses, phone numbers, and 
email addresses”).   
WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully submit this Administrative Motion pursuant to Civil 
Local Rule 79-5.  Redacted versions of the documents listed above accompany this Administrative 
Motion.
