In Re: Zimmer M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis or M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis with Kinectiv Technology and Versys Femoral Head Products Liability Litigation

Filing 160

ORDER NO. 57: Accordingly, "while a court must still articulate specific and substantial reasons for sealing such material, the reasons usually need not be as compelling as those required to seal summary judgment filings." Id. To accept th e PEC's submission under seal, the Court must articulate specific and substantial reasons for sealing that outweigh the public's presumptive right of access to the judicial document. Zimmer is therefore ordered to show cause as to why th e redacted portions of Exhibit E should remain under seal, including specific reasons for each redaction and explaining why those reasons outweigh the public's right of access. If Zimmer does not provide sufficient reasons by Friday, April 16, 2021, the Court will deny the PEC's request to seal and direct the PEC to file an unredacted version of Exhibit E on the public docket. Zimmer is also ordered to file an unredacted copy of its letter motion to strike, ECF No. 344, on th e public docket. Those redactions all refer to portions of exhibits that have since been unredacted and publicly filed, so there is no basis for maintaining the redactions under seal. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Crotty on 4/12/2021) (ks)
