Docket 10-3342-cv
DECLARATION OF CHARLES S. SIMS IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO FILE APPELLANTS' BRIEF UNDER SEAL AND TO FILE A REDACTED VERSION OF APPELLANTS' BRIEF ON THE PUBLIC DOCKET CHARLES S. SIMS hereby declares as follows under penalty of perjury: 1. I am a partner at Proskauer Rose LLP, counsel for plaintiffs-appellants The Football Association Premier League Limited, et al. ("Premier League"). I submit this declaration in support of the motion by Premier League for an order permitting our appellants' brief to be filed under seal on December 3, 2010, and permitting a redacted version to be filed on the public docket, pursuant to the district court's order requiring that information be kept under seal.
2.
I am authorized to state that the defendants-appellees YouTube, Inc., et al. ("YouTube") do not oppose this motion.
3.
Our appellants' brief is due to be filed on December 3, 2010. The brief makes reference, in three sentences, to information that is subject to the Second Amended Stipulated Pre-Trial Protective Order, entered on May 15, 2008, in the district court (the "Protective Order"). In particular, in three sentences, the brief references material that has been designated Confidential or Highly Confidential by defendants-appellees (although plaintiffs do not perceive any good reason for that designation). In addition to the Protective Order, on request of the defendants, the district court separately ordered that this protected information be redacted from filings in the district court. The Protective Order and separate sealing order are attached hereto as exhibits A and B, respectively.
2
4.
Plaintiffs have asked the defendants to de-designate those three sentences, but defendants have not agreed to do so. Accordingly, we are constrained to request permission to file a copy of our appellants' brief under seal on December 3, 2010, and to thereafter file a copy of our brief on the public docket with the protected sentences redacted from the public version.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on December 1, 2010. /s/ Charles S. Sims Charles S. Sims
