Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’
CONSENTED-TO MOTION FOR LEAVE
TO FILE REDACTED RESPONSE TO
DEFENDANTS’ MEMORANDUM OF
LAW IN SUPPORT OF THEIR
MOTIONS IN LIMINE, AND EXHIBIT 1
THERETO UNDER SEAL

Plaintiffs’ Consented-to Motion for Leave to File Redacted Response to Defendants’
Memorandum of Law in Support of their Motions in Limine, and Exhibit 1 thereto under seal, is
GRANTED. The Court further finds:
1.

That the quality of the material at issue (non-public f i n an ci a l a n d

pricing information)

justifies the filing of a redacted version of Plaintiffs’ Response to

Defendants’ Memorandum of Law in Support of their Motions in Limine and Exhibit 1 thereto
under seal despite the balance of competing interests in access to public records;
2.

That the parties’ interests in maintaining the confidentiality of their non-public

financial and pricing information override any constitutional or common law right of public
access which may attach to the information; and
3.

That there is no adequate alternative to allowing Plaintiffs to file a redacted

version of Plaintiffs’ Response to Defendants’ Memorandum of Law in Support of their Motions
in Limine and Exhibit 1 thereto under seal.
SO ORDERED, this the 16th

day of

April

, 2014.
