The Court also clarifies paragraph 11 to describe the procedure for seeking leave of court
to file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation: Counsel must receive permission from
the Court following an informal telephone conference. A party wishing to schedule such a
conference should contact chambers at [phone] to receive available dates. The Court will
schedule the conference as soon as possible, taking into consideration the urgency of the issue.
Prior to the conference, the Court will require the parties to submit letter briefs of no more than 3

pages in length to chambers for review. Telephonic conferences will not be on the record and the
Court will not issue a formal ruling at that time. Nevertheless, the Court will attempt to provide
guidance to the parties to narrow or dispose of the dispute. If no resolution is reached, the Court
will consider whether the filing of a formal motion is appropriate.
