ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Defendant’s Unopposed
Motion to Seal Portions of Ally Financial Inc.’s Response to Plaintiff’s Objections to
Magistrate Judge Mirando’s April 17, 2017 Order (Doc. 144) filed on May 15, 2017.
Defendant seeks to file under seal its response to Plaintiff’s objections to the Order
(Doc. 135) because the response contains Defendant’s non-public proprietary and
competitively sensitive information regarding Defendant’s data storage and account
management systems.
Doc. 144 at 2.
Plaintiff does not oppose the requested relief.
Id. at 9.
Pursuant to Local Rule 1.09(a),
[u]nless filing under seal is authorized by statute, rule, or order, a party
seeking to file under seal any paper or other matter in any civil case
shall file and serve a motion, the title of which includes the words
“Motion to Seal” and which includes (i) an identification and description
of each proposed for sealing; (ii) the reason that filing each item is
necessary; (iii) the reason that sealing each item is necessary; (iv) the
reason that a means other than sealing is unavailable or unsatisfactory
to preserve the interest advanced by the movant in support of the seal;
(v) a statement of the proposed duration of the seal; and (vi) a
memorandum of legal authority supporting the seal. The movant shall
not file or otherwise tender to the Clerk any item proposed for sealing
unless the Court has granted the motion required by this section.
M.D. Fla. Rule 1.09(a).
Upon review, the Court finds that Defendant has sufficiently identified and
described the document proposed for sealing and sufficiently explained that filing the
document under seal is necessary.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
Defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Seal Portions of Ally Financial Inc.’s
Response to Plaintiff’s Objections to Magistrate Judge Mirando’s April 17, 2017 Order
(Doc. 144) is GRANTED.
