ORDER

Depuy Orthopaedics, Inc. et al.,
Defendants.
STEWART D. AARON, United States Magistrate Judge:
Before the Court is a motion by Defendant Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (“Howmedica”)
to seal additional filings regarding the name and employer of Plaintiff’s disqualified engineering
expert. (See ECF No. 210.) On November 6, 2020, Howmedica was ordered to show cause why
the requested documents shall be sealed (and why previously-sealed documents should remain
under seal). (See ECF No. 211.) On November 13, 2020, Howmedica timely filed its response to
the order to show cause. (See ECF No. 213.)
Having reviewed Howmedica’s response, the Court grants Howmedica’s motion with
conditions. It is hereby ORDERED that the documents that the Court provisionally had placed
under seal (i.e., ECF Nos. 158, 179, 182, 188, 203) shall remain under seal. No later than
November 30, 2020, Howmedica shall redact any confidential information from each of these
filings and file on the public docket redacted versions of each of these filings. The Court thereafter
shall review the publicly filed versions to ensure that Howmedica was not over-inclusive in its
redactions.
The Court has reviewed the redactions made by Howmedica to ECF Nos. 171 to 174, 181
and 191 to 192 (see redacted versions filed at ECF No. 215-1 to 215-9) and hereby approves them.

SO ORDERED.
Dated:

New York, New York
