Key Facts

  • Google's omnibus motion to seal was granted in full by Magistrate Judge Susan Van Keulen on March 4, 2026.
  • The sealed materials include exhibits related to RFP responses, data lineage and architecture, and hearing transcripts.
  • The court found good cause to seal due to competitive harm and cybersecurity risk from public disclosure.
  • No opposition was filed by plaintiffs, and the ruling is purely procedural with no substantive liability determination.

  • Continued sealing may obscure discovery outcomes that could inform settlement or trial strategy.
