April 30, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT-ONLY ORDER: The Court has reviewed Defendant Intermotive's unopposed motion to seal (ECF No. 98). As my online Practice Guidelines ("Protective Orders") provide, a party's presentment to the Court for the endorsement shall be accompanied by an explanation why the portion of the document(s) is confidential. See, i.e., Rudd Equip. Co., Inc. v. John Deere Constr. & Forestry Co., 834 F.3d 589 (6th Cir. 2016). Accordingly, no later than May 8, 2020, Plaintiff Ford shall file a response, which FURTHER explains what the "Ford internal reports and emails" (PageID.2942) sought to be sealed in ECF No. 97 are and why they should be entitled to sealing. The fact that that they were designated as "Highly Confidential-Attorneys' Eyes Only" in an exchange of discovery materials or that Defendant believes they should be sealed "to respect the privacy right of the parties" (ECF No. 98, PageID.2942) is not sufficient to seal a public record without further explanation.--Entered by Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti. (MWil)
