ORDER DENYING IN PART MOTION TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

THIS MATTER is before the Court on an administrative motion filed by plaintiffs Chad Brazil and Steven Seick, asking to file certain documents under seal (docket [141] in the abovereferenced case). On August 25, 2009, the Court filed an order, docket [153], granting the motion to seal with respect to Exhibits F, G, H, I, Q, and Exhibit A to Exhibit L of the Declaration of Roger Heller in Support of Plaintiffs' Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Protective Order and Cross Motion to Compel (the "Heller Declaration"). Plaintiffs' motion to seal also requested sealing of the remainder of the Heller Declaration, along with the accompanying pleading entitled "Plaintiffs' Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Protective Order and Cross Motion to Compel" (the "Opposition"). No showing has been made, however, as to why these documents should be sealed. Accordingly, except for those documents specifically designated in the August 25, 2009, order, plaintiffs' motion to seal must be denied. Plaintiffs shall have three business days from the

filing of this order in which to file an unsealed, unredacted version of the Opposition and the unsealed portions of the Heller Declaration.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
