ORDER

BEFORE THE COURT is Defendant Baker Constructors, Inc.'s("BCI")Motion to File Its Motion

to Compel Arbitration and Stay Discovery Under Seal. BCI moves pursuant to S.G. Ga. L.R. 79.7 to file
its motion under seal because the motion relies upon and incorporates confidential information, notably an
asset purchase agreement. BCI requests that its filing remain permanently sealed because disclosure ofthe
asset purchase agreement has the high potential to cause economic harm to Plaintiff, BCI, and third-parties.
The Court agrees and finds that temporary sealing of this filing is not adequate to protect the interest at
stake.

FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, BCI's motion is hereby granted. BCI is granted leave to file its
Motion to Compel Arbitration and Stay Discovery under seal with the Clerk ofthe Court, such motion and

its included exhibits to remain permanently sealed.

SO ORDERED, THIS 7^ ^ DA Y OF OCTOBER,2018.
