Defendants

On June 7, 2018, the Magistrate Judge signed a stipulated protective order. See Doc. No.

18 28.
19

On October 29, 2019, the Plaintiff filed an opposition to Defendants’ motions in limine.

20 See Doc. No. 86. As part of that opposition, information that was subject to the protective order
21 was included/disclosed. See Doc. No. 88.
22

On October 30, 2019, after having the issue brought to his attention by defense counsel,

23 Plaintiff filed a motion to seal his opposition in order to maintain the effectiveness of the June 7,
24 2018 protective order. See id.
25

Because the protective order remains in effect, the Court will grant Plaintiff’s motion and

26 seal his opposition to Defendants’ motions in limine. However, Plaintiff will be required to file a
27 redacted version of his opposition, which will not be sealed. The redacted version must redact all
28 information that is subject to the June 7, 2018 stipulated protective order.
