IN RE TAHOE RESOURCES, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION
ORDER
[DOCKET NOS. 197, 199, 202, 205, 208, 211, AND 214]
NANCY J. KOPPE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On October 5, 2022, Plaintiff filed seven motions to seal related to requests for issuance of letters rogatory. Docket Nos. 197, 199, 202, 205, 208, 211, 214. All of these motions were filed on the basis that Defendants or non-party Business for Social Responsibility designated certain materials as confidential. See Docket No. 197 at 2-3; Docket No. 199 at 2-3; Docket No. 202 at 2-3; Docket No. 205 at 2-3; Docket No. 208 at 2-3; Docket No. 211 at 2-3; Docket No. 214 at 23. Such designations have now been withdrawn. See Docket No. 220 at 2-3. Accordingly, the motions to seal are DENIED.
The fact that a sealing request may be unopposed does not automatically result in it being granted because the Court is tasked with protecting the public's interest in transparency. Allegiant Travel Co. v. Kinzer, 2022 WL 2819734, at *1 n.1 (D. Nev. July 19, 2022).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
