General Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir.2002). This “good cause” standard presents a lower burden for the party wishing to seal documents than the “compelling reasons” standard.

C: recognizing a right of access to civil proceedings
D: holding that court may seal documents if publics right of access is outweighed by competing interests
