August 22, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 42 Order re: Letter, filed on August 21, 2014, by attorneys Dean A. Strang and Michael J. Bresnick. Review of this court's docket and the district court's docket shows that the district court transmitted document nos. 53 and 218 to this court, but they were not filed in the record on appeal. Because some of the exhibits to those documents may be duplicates of documents already in the record, the parties should inform the district court whether documents 53 and 218 and any of their exhibits should be added to the record on appeal. If document no. 53 and its exhibits are retransmitted to this court, exhibit F will be maintained under seal. If document no. 218 and its exhibits are retransmitted, the parties shall inform the court within three days of its filing which of its exhibits should remain sealed.

August 21, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 40 ORDER: 1. Defendants-Appellants' Motion for Leave to File Briefs Under Seal. 2. Plaintiffs-Appellees' Motion to Maintain Documents Under Seal. 3. Plaintiffs-Appellees' Motion to File Materials Under Seal. 4. Defendant-Appellant's Motion to Maintain Eleven Electronic Files Under Seal. 5. Unnamed Intervenors' Joint Motion to Maintain Sealing. 6. Media Coalition's Opposition to Motions to Maintain Sealing. The parties' motions to seal are GRANTED in part. The clerk of this court shall maintain under seal document nos. 109, 110-22 (exhibit A), 110-24 (exhibit C), 110-25 (exhibit D), 110-26 (exhibit E), 110-27 (exhibit F), 114, 117-8 (exhibit B), 117-9 (exhibit C), and 117-10 (exhibit D). Appellees' request to seal document no. 7 (exhibit D) is DENIED. The requests to seal exhibits F and J to document no. 53 are DENIED as unnecessary because document no. 53 and its exhibits were not transmitted to this court as part of the record on appeal. If the parties believe document no. 53 is relevant to the issues on appeal, they should move to correct the record with the district court. Appellees' motion to file exhibits under seal is GRANTED in part. The clerk of this court shall file appellees' redacted version of documents 109 (exhibit C to #3) and 114 (exhibit D to #3) in the public record. Documents 109 and 114 are pp. 843-871 and 913-936 of "sealed doc. part 3" in this court's docket entry 74. The exhibits to documents 110 and 117 were transmitted to this court in electronic files that contain multiple exhibits. (See this court's docket entry # 74). The portions of those documents that will remain under seal are pp. 76-124 and 165-254 of Sealed doc #110 Part 1; all of Sealed doc #110 Part 2; pp. 1-129 of Sealed doc #110 Part 3; pp. 55-454 of Sealed doc #117 Part 1; and pp. 1-100 of Sealed doc #117 Part 2. The clerk of the district court is directed to retransmit documents 110 and 117 in electronic files that separate the portions that will remain sealed from the surrounding exhibits. After the district court clerk retransmits these documents, the clerk of this court shall maintain under seal 110-22, 24, 25, 26, 27 (exhibits A, C, D, E, F) and 117-8, 9, 10 (exhibits B, C, D) and unseal the remainder of documents 110 and 117. The clerk of this court shall unseal document no. 7 (exhibit D) and the remaining sealed documents not addressed in this order. Appellants' motion to file redacted versions of its briefs in the public record and unredacted versions of its brief under seal is GRANTED. Appellants shall file by August 26, 2014, new versions of their redacted briefs that exclude only the information this court has now permitted to remain under seal. The parties may raise any arguments regarding the sealed documents at oral argument.
