ORDER
The undersigned approves the parties' stipulation regarding the sealing of certain documents presently available on the court's public docket. However, the undersigned notes that the court cannot "split" Portable Document Format filings page-by-page. In light of the notice of settlement filed in this matter and for the sake of efficiency, the undersigned directs the Clerk of Court to seal the entire .pdf filing in which the "Exhibit L" referenced in the stipulation is contained.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The parties' stipulation and proposed order (Dkt. No. 96) is approved.
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to seal and remove from the public docket document number 72-3, which is contained in docket entry 72.
3. If at some future time a party wishes to unseal all or a portion of document number 72-3, that party may file a request to unseal in accordance with the court's Local Rules.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
