September 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 17 VIRTUAL ORDER: rejecting #16 Proposed Agreed Order by Ford Motor Company. The proposed order has a few flaws to be addressed. First, the Court cannot ascertain the intent of paragraph 6.f. Second, Paragraph 13 attempts to allocate the burden of establishing a need for sealing in a way that interferes with LR 5.6. Any revised version should only include the existing first sentence of that paragraph. Finally, paragraph 20 does not acknowledge the Court's ability to modify the order for good cause. Any revised proposed order should address these flaws. Signed by Magistrate Judge Hanly A. Ingram on 9/14/21. (SYD)cc: COR
