June 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 58 ORDER - This matter comes before the Court on the Defendants' Amended Motion to Maintain Documents Under Seal, Dkt. [ #33 ]. Specifically, the Defendants seek to seal Docket Nos. 4-1, 9-1, 9-2, 9-3, 9-4, and 26. (Dkts. 33, 34). The Court previously sealed Docket No. 26. (Dkt. 49). Accordingly, the Court DENIES AS MOOT Plaintiff's request as to Docket No. 26. Similarly, the Court previously granted the Defendants' motion to strike Docket No. 4-1. (Dkt. 50). Accordingly, the Court DENIES AS MOOT Defendants' request to seal Docket No. 4-1. The Defendants' motion to seal portions of Docket Nos. 9- 1, 9-2, 9-3, and 9-4 fails to comply with the Local Rules, and thus is denied. Within 7 days of this Order, the Defendants are directed to review Docket Nos. 9-1, 9-2, 9-3, and 9-4, and determine which exhibits within these filings they are requesting to be sealed. The Defendants will then need to file their non-sealed foundation document with the non-sealed exhibits using the appropriate non- sealed filing event. Next, in a separate filing, the Defendants must file their sealed exhibits using the SEALED DOCUMENT event. Lastly, contemporaneously with this filing, the Defendants must file a motion to maintain documents under seal, pursuant to S.D. Ind. L.R. 5-11 and ECF Procedures Section 18(d) Motion to Seal. In the interim, the Clerk is directed to maintain Docket Nos. 9-1, 9- 2, 9-3, and 9-4 under seal. See Order for additional information. Copy to Lisa Causey-Street and Phillip R. Green via US Mail.

June 8, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 56 ORDER - This matter comes before the Court on the Defendants' Motion to Seal State Court Filings, Dkt. [ #35 ]. As an initial matter, the Court advises the parties that the Court is unable to seal portions of a filing; rather the Court only has the capability of sealing entire documents. On June 2, 2022, the Court granted the Defendants' motion to strike documents, including Docket Nos. 4-5, 5-1, and 6-3, from the record. Accordingly, the Court DENIES AS MOOT Plaintiff's request to seal (see Order ).The Court, however, finds good cause to GRANT the present Motion as to the remaining documents. Accordingly, the following documents shall be maintained UNDER SEAL (see Order). Copy to Phillip R. Green and Lisa Causey-Street via US Mail. Signed by Magistrate Judge Doris L. Pryor on 6/8/2022.

May 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER - This action was removed to this Court on May 5, 2022. Local Rule 81-2(a) provides that "the removing party must file a copy of the State Court Record." Defendant Coloplast Corp. and Coloplast Manufacturing US, LLC have done so in several separate filings, likely due to the sheer volume of the state court record. (ECF Nos. #1 , 4-7, 13.) In the meantime, the Marion County Clerk's Office has also transmitted the state court record to the Clerk's Office of this Court. Nonetheless, Defendants are directed to ensure and verify that the complete state court record has been filed with this Court. If there is any state court filing not already on this Court's docket, these Defendants shall file it by May 17, 2022; otherwise, these Defendants shall file by that same date, a statement with the Court verifying that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the state court record previously filed is intact.
