action to request permission to file under seal an exhibit to the PokerStars
Companies' Motion to Dismiss, filed today.
Exhibit A-5 to the Declaration of Anand S. Raman is a September 20,
2011, letter from the United States Attorney's Office to counsel for Chad Elie and
John Campos in the related matter of United States v. Scheinberg, et aI., 10-cr-336

protective order," and requests that to the extent it is used in a court filing, it be
submitted to the court under seal. In order to comply with the request contained in
the letter, we respectfully request permission to file the letter under seal.

We have conferred with the United States Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of New Yark, and they do not object to this request.

Respectfully submitted,
