STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
REDACT PORTIONS OF
TRANSCRIPT OF JANUARY 10, 2024
HEARING

1
2
3

stipulate and agree as follows:
1. The Court previously entered an Order (ECF No. 91) providing guidance to the

4

parties with respect to appropriate redactions for filings made in connection with the

5

Motion to Stay Action and related filings, which reference the scope, substance,

6

subject matter or direction of an ongoing criminal investigation.

The parties, by and through their undersigned respective counsel of record, hereby

2. On January 10, 2024, the Court held oral argument on the Motion to Stay Action,
among other filings.

9

3. The Court allowed provisional sealing of the Transcript of Proceedings so the parties

10

could meet and confer on whether redactions were necessary and, if so, whether they

11

could agree on those redactions.

12

4. The parties have since met and conferred.

13

5. The parties have agreed upon certain redactions to the Transcript of Proceedings as

14
15

reflected in Exhibit “1” attached to this Stipulation and Order.
6. Subject to the Court’s approval, the parties stipulate and request that the Redacted

16

Version of the Transcript of Proceedings, attached hereto as Exhibit “1,” be filed by

17

the Clerk as the publicly available version of the Transcript of Proceedings from the

18

January 10, 2024 court hearing in this matter.

19

7. The parties submit that the proposed redactions comply with the requirements of the

20

Court’s prior Order (ECF No. 91) and the relevant case law. Center for Auto Safety v.

21

Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1096-97 (9th Cir. 2016) (applying good cause

22

standard); Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006)

23

(applying compelling reasons standard).

24

8. Because the proposed redactions only reference the direction or scope of the ongoing

25

criminal investigation, there does not appear to be a public interest in the redacted

26

information that outweighs the need for its protection.
