What happened
Mphasis Corporation asked the court to seal ECF Nos. 407 and 411, and Albert Rojas responded to the request. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute beyond the sealing application.
Mphasis argued that the documents contained trade secrets or other confidential commercial information. The court said Mphasis had alleged facts that, if true, would satisfy the five-part test for filing a document under seal.
Judge Ona T. Wang temporarily granted Mphasis’s application to seal ECF Nos. 407 and 411. The sealing will remain temporary until the court decides Mphasis’s motion.

Background
Mphasis Corporation filed a motion identified at ECF Nos. 416–418. Albert Rojas filed a response at ECF Nos. 419–420. The opinion concerns Mphasis’s application to seal ECF Nos. 407 and 411.
Legal standard
The court cited Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1)(G), which permits an order protecting a party by requiring that trade secrets or other confidential research, development, or commercial information not be revealed. The court also cited a five-part test for deciding whether a document contains a trade secret that may be filed under seal.
Ruling
The court held that Mphasis had alleged facts that, if true, would satisfy the five-part test. It therefore temporarily granted Mphasis’s application to seal ECF Nos. 407 and 411. The temporary sealing remains in place until Mphasis’s motion is decided. The order does not state the ultimate decision on the motion to seal.
