Mark Hunt, Plaintiff v. Zuffa, LLC d/b/a Ultimate Fighting Championship, et al., Defendants
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO SEAL AND REDACT INFORMATION [ECF No. 249]
Jennifer A. Dorsey U.S. District Judge
On February 21, 2023, the parties filed a stipulation to seal plaintiff Mark Hunt's responses to Zuffa, LLC's (UFC) and Brock Lesnar's summary-judgment motions, noting that the responses inadvertently contained information that was deemed confidential under the terms of a promotional agreement between UFC and Lesnar. The parties agree that the information is “non-public and deserving of protection under the ‘compelling reasons' standards set forth in Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu” and ask that the court seal the responses and allow Hunt to file public, redacted versions “to avoid sealing more than what is necessary.”
ECF No. 249 at 1-2.
Id. at 3.
I have reviewed the parties' stipulation and find that they have provided compelling reasons to seal and redact Hunt's responses. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to SEAL the main documents at ECF Nos. 242 and 243. The exhibits associated with those documents should remain unsealed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff Mark Hunt must file redacted versions of his responses at ECF Nos. 242 and 243 within five days of this order
