ORDER - On July 20, 2023, Plaintiff filed his Brief in Response to Defendant's Motion to Seal or, in the Alternative, for Redactions to Plaintiff's Complaint (the "Response"). Doc. No. 26. The Response contained some of the currently sealed material that is the subject of this sealing dispute. Defendant promptly filed its Emergency Motion to Seal Plaintiffs Brief in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Seal or, in the Alternative, for Redactions to Plaintiffs Complaint (the "Motion"). Doc. No. 27. Plaintiff then filed a redacted version of its Response. Doc. No. 28. Plaintiff's Response shall remain sealed pending further order of the Court. Defendants Motion is therefore DENIED as moot and without prejudice to refiling. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 7/24/2023) (chmb)

Filing 23
ELECTRONIC ORDER: - Before the Court is Defendant's Motion to Seal or, in the Alternative, On Redactions to Plaintiff's Complaint (the "Motion"). Doc. No. 20. According to Defendant, Plaintiff has again changed course and is now opposed to sealing the Complaint, Doc. No. 1., or, alternatively, most of Defendant's proposed redactions. E.g., Doc. No. 20 at 3. Citing the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, the desire to protect confidential business information, and the fact that the parties have agreed to dismiss this in favor of arbitration per an arbitration agreement, Defendant asks the Court (as an alternative to sealing the entire Complaint) to redact paragraphs (or portions of paragraphs) 9, 14, 16, 18-24, 33-36, 40, and 42. Id. at 1. The Court ORDERS Plaintiff to, by July 14, 2023, file a response to Defendant's Motion in accordance with the following requirements: (1) Plaintiff shall publicly file his response, and without disclosing the substance of the material Defendant seeks to keep confidential, describe generally why the risks of disclosure of each paragraph Defendant seeks to seal do not outweigh the public's common law right of access; and (2) as a sealed attachment to the response, Plaintiff shall brief specifically why the risks of disclosure of each paragraph Defendant seeks to seal do not outweigh the public's common law right of access. Defendants Sealed Brief in Support of Defendants Motion to Seal, or, in the Alternative, for Redaction to Plaintiff's Complaint (the "Sealed Brief"), Doc. No. 21, is very specific and detailed; it outlines exactly what Defendant seeks to seal, and it adeptly applies the relevant legal authorities to those specific requests. The Court expects Plaintiff to engage with Defendants arguments with that same level of detail and analysis. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 7/11/2023) (chmb)
