MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL PORTIONS OF THE DISCOVERY DISPUTE LETTER DATED DECEMBER 23, 2020
Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court authorize the sealed filing of a portion of the letter dated December 23, 2020 concerning a discovery dispute. The proposed sealed portions of the letter, including Exhibits A and B thereto, discuss or constitute information that has been designated “Confidential” by Defendants and must therefore be filed under seal pursuant to ¶¶ 10-11 of the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order, entered by this Court on November 13, 2018 (the “Protective Order”). (See ECF No. 39.) Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court allow the information to be filed under seal.
By making this filing, Plaintiffs do not agree that any of the sealed material should be maintained under seal, and Plaintiffs reserve the right to oppose any motion ultimately filed seeking the continued sealing of the sealed material. As per paragraph 12 of the Protective Order, Defendants or third parties may move to maintain the continued sealing of the sealed material within twenty-one days of this filing.
The motion to seal, ECF No. 147 is denied as moot, see ECF No. 160. The Clerk is instructed to terminate the open motion, ECF No 147.
So ordered.
