BLOCKCHAIN INNOVATION, LLC, Plaintiff, v. FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER RE MOTION TO SEAL RE: DKT. NO. 164
THOMAS S. HIXSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
In ECF No. 164, Defendants filed a motion to consider whether another party's material should be sealed. The motion concerned Exhibits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the joint discovery letter brief at ECF No. 165. Defendants stated that these Exhibits may contain Plaintiff's confidential information. In ECF No. 167, Plaintiff filed a response. It proposes redactions to Exhibits 1, 2 and 7 and does not seek sealing of any part of Exhibits 4, 5 and 6. Plaintiff's proposed redactions to Exhibits 1, 2 and 7 are acceptable. Because Plaintiff has already filed in the public record Exhibits 1, 2 and 7 reflecting those redactions (ECF Nos. 167-5, 167-6 and 167-7), no further action is required as to those Exhibits. With respect to Exhibits 4, 5 and 6, the Court ORDERS Defendants to file them in the public record. This order terminates ECF No. 164.
Plaintiff also says it does not seek sealing of Exhibits 3 and 8, but those were not part of the motion at ECF No. 164 and were already filed in the public record at ECF Nos. 165-3 and 165-8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
