MOTION TO FILE
DOCUMENTS
UNDER SEAL
1
Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) moves, pursuant to the Confidentiality and
2
Protective Order (Docket No. 173), to file the deposition transcript of SFS, Inc. and attached
3
exhibits under seal. These materials will be filed as Exhibit A to the October 10, 2012
4
declaration of Nikhil Singhvi. The FTC also moves to file under seal its opposition to
5
Defendants’ emergency motion for protective order and cross motion to compel. A redacted,
6
public version will also be filed. The reasons for this motion are as follows.
7
On October 1, 2012, the Court ordered SFS, Inc. to appear for its deposition on October
8
4, 2012. (Docket No. 190 at 3.) The Court also ordered the FTC to file an expedited version of
9
the deposition transcript by October 10, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. (Id.)
10
During the October 4, 2012 deposition, SFS, Inc. requested that the entire deposition
11
transcript be deemed “Confidential” under the Confidentiality and Protective Order until SFS,
12
Inc. could review the final transcript and make specific “Confidential” designations. The FTC
13
agreed. Shortly before filing of the present motion, SFS, Inc. supplied approximately 25 specific
14
“Confidential” designations. Redaction of the transcript according to SFS, Inc.’s specific
15
designations was not feasible to meet the Court’s 4:00 p.m. filing deadline.
16
Solely to comply with the Court’s October 1, 2012 order and to preserve SFS, Inc.’s
17
designations, the FTC moves for leave to file the above-described materials under seal, with
18
redactions to its opposition and cross motion to the extent that specific portions of the transcript
19
designated as “Confidential” are discussed. As the party requesting “Confidential” treatment,
20
SFS, Inc. bears the burden of showing cause therefor. Until SFS, Inc. attempts to make that
21
showing, the FTC takes no position on whether any portions of these materials should remain
22
sealed and redacted.
