PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that, pursuant to Local Civil Rule 79.2(c),
Defendant Bank of America, N.A. (“Defendant” or “BANA”) hereby submits this
Notice and Motion to Seal (the “Motion to Seal”) certain documents and portions of
other documents submitted in connection with BANA’s Motion to Exclude the
Expert Testimony of David I. Levine (the “Motion to Exclude”).1
I.
STANDARD TO SEAL DOCUMENTS
The public’s right to inspect and copy judicial records is not absolute, and a
party faced with the disclosure of confidential or proprietary information may seek
to file the documents under seal to avoid disclosure of business information that
might result in competitive harm or be used for improper purposes. See Nixon v.
Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 598 (1978) (denying disclosure); Local Civ.
R. 79.2(c). The documents that BANA seeks to seal each contain information that
qualifies as “Protected Material” pursuant to the Parties’ Stipulated Protective Order
(“Protective Order”), entered by the Court on September 24, 2021 (ECF 82).
Courts in this district have held that a party seeking to seal documents filed in
connection with a motion to exclude expert testimony must show “compelling
reasons” to seal, as such motions may be effectively “dispositive of a motion for
summary judgment.” Lust ex rel. Lust v. Merrell Dow Pharm., Inc., 89 F.3d 594, 597
(9th Cir. 1996) (noting that Daubert ruling was dispositive); see Rink v. Cheminova,
Inc., 400 F.3d 1286, 1288 (11th Cir. 2005) (affirming a grant of summary judgment
on grounds that plaintiff failed to prove causation after the plaintiff's expert was
excluded under Daubert).
In applying the “compelling reasons” standard, courts, including this Court,
1 This Motion is based on Defendant’s Notice of Motion and Motion to Seal, the
documents filed in support of Defendant’s Motion to Exclude, including the
Declaration of Lindsay E. Hoyle (“Hoyle Decl.”) submitted herewith, all pleadings
and papers on file in this action, oral argument if requested by the Court, and any
such other matters that the Court deems appropriate. Should the Court desire more
detailed briefing to decide Defendant’s Motion to Seal, BANA respectfully requests
the opportunity to submit additional briefing in support of sealing.

consistently seal documents where—as here—disclosure of the confidential business
information risks competitive harm to the litigant or improper use of the information
such as to commit fraud. E.g., E.W. Bank v. Shanker, 2021 WL 3112452, at *18–19
(N.D. Cal. July 22, 2021) (finding compelling reasons to seal confidential onboarding
processes, verification of customer identities, and fraud prevention measures); Soria
v. U.S. Bank N.A., 2019 WL 8167925, at *4 (C.D. Cal. Apr. 25, 2019) (finding
compelling reasons to seal internal fraud investigation procedures because there was
a “significant danger that someone could improperly use this information to commit
fraud and avoid detection.”); see also ECF 266, 293, 365, 381, 390, 391, 397, 421,
466, 467, 548 (the “Sealing Orders”).
II.
COMPELLING REASONS EXIST TO SEAL THE CONFIDENTIAL
DOCUMENTS.
Compelling reasons exist to file under seal each of the confidential documents
(or portions thereof) filed in connection with BANA’s Motion to Exclude, and any
substantive discussion of those documents contained in BANA’s Motion to Exclude
or the declarations or testimony filed in support thereof. Each of those documents
and testimony were properly designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential –
Attorneys’ Eyes Only” under the Protective Order entered by this Court because each
pertains to topics that are likely to cause particularized competitive harm to BANA
and which could potentially enable future fraud, which poses a danger to BANA’s
business and the public. Many of the documents were also designated Confidential
pursuant to the terms of BANA’s contract and confidentiality agreement with the
EDD (see infra at 5-6), because BANA was explicitly instructed by its regulators to
keep the documents confidential because they implicate regulatory protections and
concern ongoing remediation efforts (see infra at 7), and/or because their disclosure
could implicate or interfere with potential or ongoing law enforcement investigations
(see infra at 3).
All are compelling reasons which outweigh the public disclosure factors, and

thus permit sealing of those documents. For example, in East West Bank v. Shanker,
a California district court granted a motion to seal portions of exhibits concerning
“confidential onboarding processes, digital banking platform[s], fraud management
techniques, and verification of customer identities, which if made public would harm
[the bank’s] business,” and found that public disclosure of EWB’s confidential fraud
prevention measures would “harm EWB’s business.” 2021 WL 3112452, at *18-19.
Similarly, in Soria v. U.S. Bank, N.A., another California district court found
compelling reasons to file under seal information related to a bank’s internal
procedures for investigating incidents of fraud, explaining that “[a]lthough there is a
public interest in [the b]ank’s procedures concerning its fraud investigations, public
disclosure of this information may impede [the b]ank’s ability to identify and combat
future instances of fraud” and that “[t]here is a significant danger that someone could
improperly use this information to commit fraud and avoid detection.” 2019 WL
8167925, at *4. Further, in Shelley v. Cnty. of San Joaquin, yet another California
district court protected materials where “the public release of those documents could
negatively impact” law enforcement investigations. 2015 WL 2082370, at *7 (E.D.
Cal. May 4, 2015).
Similar compelling reasons exist here. Indeed, this court has already found,
compelling reasons to seal documents just like those at issue here, which each relate
to confidential business practices and fraud prevention measures that could be
misused to commit future fraud or used by competitor banks to BANA’s
disadvantage. Earlier in this litigation, Judge Berg determined that there are
“compelling reasons” to seal a number of exhibits previously submitted with
Plaintiffs’ motion to compel discovery that concern the very same categories of
confidential information that BANA seeks to seal here. See ECF 266. In doing so,
Judge Berg found that compelling reasons existed to seal information concerning: the
Claim Fraud Filter, other fraud and claims strategies, call center operations, prepaid
fraud losses, state contract issues, prepaid updates and trackers, cardholder

complaints and escalations, and certain of BANA’s interrogatory responses—which
are precisely the types of documents BANA seeks to seal here.
This Court also found compelling reasons to seal the same or similar
documents related to analyses of claims fraud and potential strategies to combat that
fraud including the Claim Fraud Filter and other fraud strategies, operational fraud
losses, trainings for claims investigations, fraud detection and prevention policies and
strategies, claims review policies and strategies and their implementation, BANA’s
analyses of transactional fraud, risk of competitor advantage concerning how BANA
structures its claims and frauds teams and the review procedures, protocols and
systems therein, its analyses of state prepaid unemployment program operations and
contractual negotiations with vendors, fraud prevention programs, organizational
charts, confidential regulator materials, and quotes or summary descriptions from
sealed exhibits. See ECF 365, 381, 390. Those prior rulings are sufficient grounds
alone to grant sealing here. See Lundstrom v. Young, 2022 WL 15524624, at *17
(S.D. Cal. Oct. 27, 2022) (J. Curiel) (considering prior sealing of exhibits when
granting motion to seal); Workplace Techs. Rsch., Inc. v. Project Mgmt. Inst., Inc.,
2021 WL 6091272, at *3 (S.D. Cal. Oct. 20, 2021) (sealing references to document
that court already granted sealing of).
Specifically, the Confidential and Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only
documents, testimony and declarations that BANA seeks to seal, include but are not
limited to, the following categories of documents and information, which this Court
has already found compelling reasons to seal:
•
BANA’s Remediation Plan and Addenda with the OCC and CFPB, and
its implementation of those Plans, which both agencies themselves
designated as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” (see HX
30, 31) (see ECF 365 at 14–16 (finding compelling reasons to seal));
•
Testimony concerning aggregated statistics related to EDD benefit
recipients account balances, activity, and fraud claims that BANA is

obligated to maintain as confidential pursuant to its agreement with

because its disclosure could cause competitive harm to BANA or its
customers (see HX 30) (see ECF 365, 381 (finding compelling reasons
to seal));
•
Individual EDD cardholder account, transactions, and claim
information, which often include personal, sensitive, or financial
information (see HX 36, 37, 38) (see ECF 365, 381 (finding compelling
reasons to seal));
•
Expert reports and excerpts of experts’ deposition testimony, which
include discussions of BANA’s confidential documents, many of which
contain the confidential information described above, including but not
limited to: BANA’s handling of unauthorized transaction claims and
reconsiderations; BANA’s contract with EDD and the responsibilities
thereunder; BANA’s communications with EDD regarding fraud-
related measures; BANA’s fraud strategies, including the use of EMV
chip technology and the freezing and blocking of accounts; and BANA’s
call center procedures and complaint escalation intake channels (see HX
34, 35, 36) (see ECF 365, 381 (finding compelling reasons to seal));2
and
•
Excerpt of a 30(b)(6) fact witness’s deposition testimony, which include
discussions of BANA’s confidential documents, many of which contain
the confidential information described above, including but not limited
to: BANA’s handling of unauthorized transaction claims and
reconsiderations; BANA’s contract with EDD and the responsibilities
2 BANA submits excerpted deposition testimony from an expert (HX 36), which

because those witnesses’ testified regarding BANA’s confidential documents and to
the same categories of confidential information described above.

thereunder; BANA’s communications with EDD regarding fraud-
related measures; (see HX 30) (see ECF 365, 381 (finding compelling
reasons to seal)).
Cardholders’ personal account, transaction and claim information.
Additional compelling reasons and good cause exist to seal HX 36, 37, and 38
because they reflect EDD cardholder account, transaction and claim information,
which often include personal, sensitive and financial information that the customers
did not intend to appear on a public docket. See Nia v. Bank of Am., N.A., 2024 WL
171659, at *6 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 12, 2024) (permitting sealing of exhibit reflecting
customer data such as internal deposit account and credit account closure data); see
also McAfee v. Experian Info. Sols., 2023 WL 8237364, at *2 (S.D. Ohio Nov. 28,
2023) (finding compelling reasons to seal documents in order to “protect Plaintiff’s
credit history and financial account information from public disclosure to maintain
Plaintiff’s privacy . . . [and] guard against the threat of identi[t]y theft…”).3
Moreover, BANA is obligated to keep such information confidential pursuant to the
terms of its contract and confidentiality agreement with EDD. See ECF 324-106 at
5 (prohibiting “disclosure of the EDD’s confidential information to the public”);
Robart Decl. ¶ 5.
Finally, Plaintiffs themselves designated their own interrogatory responses as
Confidential (HX 37, 38), and under the Protective Order, BANA is required to file
under seal testimony that Plaintiffs designated confidential (ECF 82 § 12.5).
Accordingly, cardholder claim and account details contain sensitive, personal
information that overcomes the presumption of public access and warrants sealing.
Confidential regulator materials. Compelling reasons exist to seal HX 30
and 31, which contain documents and testimony regarding BANA’s implementation
3 BANA is provisionally sealing sensitive financial information of both named
Plaintiffs and absent class members. If Plaintiffs request that their personal and
financial information be made public, BANA can remove sealing over Plaintiffs’
account, transactions and claims information, but not with respect to non-plaintiffs.

of its Remediation Plan and Addenda with the OCC and CFPB. The regulators
designated the Plans “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” as a condition to
BANA producing them to Plaintiffs, and they contain information the OCC deemed
privileged and confidential under its statutes and regulations. Standing alone, the
regulators’ determination and designation—which Plaintiffs readily agreed to when
they accepted the documents last year—should be a sufficient, compelling reason to
seal the Plans and any documents quoting from or referencing those Plans. See, e.g.,
Erhart v. BofI Fed. Bank, 2019 WL 4534701, at *3 (S.D. Cal. Sept. 19, 2019) (sealing
information that the OCC asserted bank examination privilege over but permitted to
be produced subject to confidentiality protections). See also ECF 344-3 (Lennon
Decl.) ¶¶ 3–4, 6. This Court has previously found compelling reasons to limit public
access to such documents because they contain highly sensitive, and confidential
information that would subject any disclosure to potential fraud. ECF 381, 498.
BANA’s Motion to Exclude, expert reports and appendix of exhibits
that quote and summarize confidential exhibits. BANA has provisionally
redacted and sealed portions of its Motion to Exclude, expert reports appended
in support thereof, and the appendix of exhibits to the Motion to Exclude that
quote or describe the confidential documents, testimony and topics identified
above, including BANA’s fraud, claims and call center policies, strategies and
practices, as well as BANA’s implementation of the Remediation Plan and
Addenda (see HX 34, 35). See supra, pgs. 5–14. This is consistent with the
terms of the Stipulated Protective Order (ECF 82, § 3), and with rulings in this
circuit including by this Court. See, e.g., Darisse v. Nest Labs, Inc., 2016 WL
11474174, at *2 (N.D. Cal. June 2, 2016) (sealing class certification motion
and declarations that quote or reference confidential exhibits); ECF 365, 381.
For example, portions of the Motion to Exclude reference confidential
deposition testimony of BANA’s expert witnesses and provisionally sealed portions
of Plaintiffs’ expert reports pertaining to the details of the Claim Fraud Filter and

Addenda; reference confidential documents and testimony related to the Claim Fraud
Filter, the Remediation Plan and Addenda, and provisionally sealed portions of
Plaintiffs’ expert reports, among other confidential topics; and quote from or describe
the Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only Remediation Plan and Addenda
summarize BANA’s implementation of the Plans.
For the reasons discussed above, there are compelling reasons to seal
discussions of those topics, testimony and documents, as well as others discussed in
BANA’s Motion to Exclude and the expert reports appended in support thereof. See
supra, pgs. 5–15.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons and for the reasons set forth in the Court’s Sealing
Orders (ECF 365, 381, 390, 391, 397, 421, 431, 460, 466, 467, 477, 498, 507, 516,
531, 532, 547, 548), Plaintiffs’ Motions to Seal (ECF 322, 334, 376, 384, 394, 463),
BANA’s prior Motions to Seal (ECF 328, 337, 344, 347, 383, 418, 451, 457, 470,
481, 495, 501, 511, 539, 542) and accompanying declarations submitted in support
thereof (ECF 344-1, 344-2, 344-3, 347-1, 347-2), all of which are incorporated herein
by reference, BANA respectfully requests that the Court grant Defendant’s Motion
to Seal because compelling reasons support sealing of the identified documents or
portions thereof. Defendant has lodged a Proposed Order separately with the Court.
