GENERAL MOTORS LLC v. ALPHONS IACOBELLI
LC No. 20-011998-CB
Mark T. Boonstra, Presiding Judge, Jane E. Markey, Stephen L. Borrello, Judges
ORDER
The FCA defendants' motion for leave to file their answer to the application for leave to appeal and their related appendices under seal is GRANTED. This Court finds good cause to seal those documents because the appendices in question are covered by a stipulated protective order entered by the trial court, see MCR 7.211(C)(9)(b), and the content of the confidential appendices is both described and quoted in the body of the FCA defendants' answer to the application for leave to appeal. Under the circumstances, there are no less restrictive means to adequately and effectively protect the interests asserted. See MCR 7.211(C)(9)(e).
The Clerk shall disclose or provide copies of any order or opinion entered in this appeal, MCR 8.119(I)(5); MCR 7.211(C)(9)(c), but sealed pleadings or other contents of the file shall not be disclosed or made available for public viewing.
The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this order to the Clerk of the Supreme Court and to the State Court Administrative Office. MCR 8.119(I)(7); MCR 7.211(C)(9)(c).
