| Filing 41 Filed order (A. WALLACE TASHIMA and SIDNEY R. THOMAS): Petitioners motion for leave to file a joint reply in support of the petition (Docket Entry No. [ # 27 ]) is granted. The reply has been filed. The unopposed motion of the National Association of Manufacturers, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and Washington Legal Foundation for leave to file an amicus curiae brief in support of the petition (Docket Entry No. [ # 9 ]) is granted. The Clerk will file the amicus brief submitted October 18, 2022. The court, in its discretion, denies the petition for permission to appeal the district courts September 27, 2022 order granting in part and denying in part class action certification. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(f); Chamberlan v. Ford Motor Co., 402 F.3d 952 (9th Cir. 2005) (stating standard). Respondents have filed a notice of intent to file publicly Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Richard M. Brunell in support of End-Payor Plaintiffs Answer to the petition. See 9th Cir. R. 27-13(f). No other party has filed a motion to file or maintain the document under seal. Therefore, the Clerk will unseal the notice (Docket Entry No. [ # 26 ]-1) and file publicly the document (Docket Entry No. [ # 26 ]-2). Petitioners filed a notice of sealing for Exhibit 1 to the petition. A review of Exhibit 1 demonstrates that redaction may be feasible. Therefore, within 21 days after the date of this order, petitioners must submit for public filing a redacted version of Exhibit 1 or a motion to seal Exhibit 1 under Ninth Circuit Rule 27-13(e). The Clerk will maintain under seal Exhibit 1 to the petition. [12605947] (AF) [Entered: 12/08/2022 03:36 PM] |
