AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR
REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 150

Defendants.
Defendants filed an administrative motion for leave to file under seal a motion to exclude

13

the opinions of Plaintiffs’ expert. Dkt. 150. The only stated basis for sealing was that Plaintiffs

14

had designated certain information contained therein as confidential. Plaintiffs have since

15

withdrawn these confidentiality designations. See dkt. 158. The Court withheld judgment on the

16

motion in order to provide certain third parties an opportunity to file declarations in support of

17

sealing. See dkt. 160. No such declarations have been filed. Accordingly, Defendants’

18

administrative motion to file under seal is DENIED. Defendants are instructed to file unredacted

19

versions of the underlying documents in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)(2).
