Re:

Balchem Corporation v. Edwards, No. 7:18-CV-2677-KMK

Dear Judge Karas:
We write to confirm Plaintiffs’ compliance with the Court’s June 2, 2021 Order to provide
proposed redactions to the June 2, 2021 hearing transcript (the “Transcript”). Plaintiffs have
provided their proposed redactions to the court reporter.
On June 2, 2021, the parties appeared telephonically to argue Defendants’ Motion for
Summary Judgment and Plaintiffs’ Motion to Amend. At the June 2 hearing, Plaintiffs’ counsel
requested the Court’s leave to provide redactions to the Transcript, and the Court ordered the
parties to provide proposed redactions to the transcript within two weeks of receipt.
On June 3, 2021, the Court entered a minute order confirming that the parties were to
provide redactions within two weeks of receipt of the Transcript. On June 7, 2021, Plaintiffs filed
an unopposed motion to seal the original (un-redacted) hearing transcript (ECF No. 200). On June
22, 2021, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion to seal (ECF No. 203).
On July 20, 2021, Defendants received the full Transcript. On July 30, 2021, Plaintiffs
provided their proposed redactions to the Transcript to the court reporter. The court reporter
confirmed that Defendants had not provided any proposed redactions or ordered a copy of the
Transcript. On August 2, 2021, Plaintiffs’ counsel provided a copy of the Transcript with
DUANE MORRIS LLP

Plaintiffs’ proposed redactions to Defendants’ counsel and requested that Defendants provide any
additional redactions by August 3, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.
As of this filing, Defendants’ counsel have not responded to that request. Plaintiffs have
provided their proposed redactions to the Transcript as required by the Court, and Defendants have
not provided any additional redactions or objections to Plaintiffs’ proposed redactions. Plaintiffs
therefore respectfully request that the Court order the court reporter to file the redacted copy of the
Transcript Plaintiffs submitted to the court reporter on July 30, 2021 and that the original, unredacted copy of the Transcript remain under seal.

Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Michael R. Gottfried
