January 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Text Order GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART #29 Motion for Leave to File Sealed Document entered by Judge Richard B. Farrer. Plaintiff seeks to file his First Amended Complaint and Amended Application requesting injunctive relief under seal, generally asserting that the information contained therein includes confidential business information of a customer that is essential to Plaintiff's business practices and concerns matters of national security. But the proposed Amended Complaint and proposed Amended Application include allegations and proposed exhibits that have already been placed in the public record by Plaintiff, and Plaintiff has made no attempt to explain why his new allegedly confidential allegations can't be redacted. As the Court previously explained, whenever a motion to seal is filed in this case, the parties must separately file a redacted version of the document for the public record. See Dkt.

The request for leave to file out of time an (1) amended complaint and (2) request for injunctive relief is granted. The aforementioned amended complaint and request for injunctive relief, however, were for some reason filed under seal without a supporting motion for leave to file under seal. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall on or before December 2, 2020, either (1) re-file on the public docket the exact same previously filed amended complaint and request for injunctive relief filed currently as exhibits to Docket Entry #27 or (2) re-file these same matters with appropriate motions for leave to seal. Deadlines to respond to these filings will run from the date these matters are placed on the docket in accordance with this order. Relief not expressly granted herein is denied.
