On April 8, 2016, the Court

Pursuant to the Protective Order, documents

produced and information disclosed in this action may be designated as “Confidential,” and any
papers filed with the Court that include “Confidential” information must be filed under seal.

Plaintiffs intend to discuss, quote, cite, and attach as exhibits a number of these “Confidential”
materials. Where possible, Plaintiffs seeks to file redacted versions of its response and exhibits,
and to provide the Court with unredacted copies. The Court understands that some portions of
the response and exhibits contain public information that is not covered by the Protective Order,
which may be filed on the docket.
Because the response and accompanying exhibits can be redacted, it is in the best
interests of the public for the redacted version of the response and exhibits to be filed on the

docket.

Plaintiffs may file under seal only exhibits that contain primarily confidential

information. Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiffs’ motion (ECF No. 65) should be and
hereby is GRANTED. Plaintiffs are directed to provide the Court with unredacted copies of the
memorandum and exhibits.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 23rd day of March, 2017.
