JOINT STATEMENT re scheduling conference . (Ellsworth, Felicia)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR
THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
BOSTON DIVISION
STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS,
INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.

Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-14176-ADB

PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF
HARVARD COLLEGE,
Defendant.
JOINT SCHEDULING MOTION
On May 23, 2018, the Court ordered the parties to propose a procedure for the Court to
determine whether any summary judgment briefing or exhibits filed under seal should remain
sealed. Dkt. 404. The parties have been meeting and conferring and have narrowed, but not
eliminated, the areas of dispute on this topic. The parties therefore propose the following schedule
for briefing these remaining disputes:
1.

On or before June 15, 2018, each party shall file a motion to seal any materials to

be filed in connection with its summary judgment motion that at least one party maintains must be
filed under seal.
2.

For those summary judgment materials that one party maintains must be filed under

seal and the other party objects, the party seeking to have any portion of the filings remain under
seal shall, by June 22, file a memorandum in support of the sealing of those summary judgment
materials.
3.

The party opposing the sealing of those summary judgment materials shall, by June

29, file an opposition.

1

4.

If the Court believes a hearing would assist it in resolving these disputes, the parties

request a hearing on any motion to seal at the Court’s convenience as soon as practicable after
June 29, consistent with the Court’s interest in resolving these disputes quickly.
Pursuant to the Court’s order, the parties continue to meet and confer in good faith in an
effort to narrow the scope of any confidentiality dispute.
