directs as follows.

counsel submitted to the Court under seal on May 12, 2020 differs
from the redacted amended retainer agreement attached as Exhibit
2 to ECF No. 183.

The redacted amended retainer agreement states

“AMENDED RETAINER” at the top, whereas the unredacted retainer
agreement that counsel submitted to the Court does not.

retainer agreement under seal, and a certification that the two
retainer

agreements

are
