ORDER denying 847 Motion for Leave to restrict, by Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland on 9/8/2014.(trlee, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland
Civil Action No. 11-cv-00520-RM-BNB
HEALTH GRADES, INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.
MDX MEDICAL, INC., d/b/a Vitals.com
Defendant.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
This matter arises on Health Grades, Inc.’s Unopposed Motion for Leave to
Temporarily Restrict [Doc. # 847, filed 8/25/2014] (the “Motion to Restrict”). The plaintiff
seeks an order temporarily restricting access to Doc. ## 841-1 through 8 in order to allow MDx
to file a motion to restrict under D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.2(e).
The parties’ insistence on seeking extensive restrictions to materials filed in this case has
resulted in an enormous burden on the court. The instant motion is an example. I have reviewed
Doc. ##841-1 through 8, and virtually nothing is contained there. With the exception of a few
exhibits which appear generally to be screenshots, the docket entry is made up of title pages
indicating “[FILED UNDER SEAL].”
The Motion to Restrict recites that “[o]n August 22, 2014, Health Grades filed a Motion
to Compel” and that “[d]ocuments 841-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 were not filed as restricted.” Motion
to Restrict [Doc. # 847] at ¶¶1-2. In fact, many of the documents referred to in the Motion to
Restrict, if not all of them, appear to have been filed subject to restriction at Doc. # 843.

IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Restrict [Doc. # 847] is DENIED.
Dated September 8, 2014.

BY THE COURT:
s/ Boyd N. Boland
United States Magistrate Judge
