Out of an abundance of caution, the proceeding was sealed because it pertains to a grand
jury investigation. The parties and the Court, however, managed to discuss the relevant issues
without referencing anything that would call for redaction. Accordingly, the transcript of the
proceeding was not sealed and is available to the public in the normal course.
