January 13, 2010

ORDER

JAMES FRANCIS IV, Magistrate Judge

Today I issued a decision on the plaintiff's motion to disqualify the law firm representing the defendants. I filed that decision under seal because of the possibility that it contains information confidential to the parties. By January 20, 2010, the parties shall submit papers identifying what, if any, information they request to be redacted from the version of the decision that will be publicly filed, providing a detailed basis for any such request. These submissions may themselves be filed under seal.

SO ORDERED.
