IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
WESTERN DIVISION
Case No. 5:11-cv-00296-FL
VEOLIA WATER SOLUTIONS &
TECHNOLOGIES SUPPORT,
Plaintiff,
v.

PROPOSED ORDER

SIEMENS INDUSTRY, INC., and
EVOQUA WATER TECHNOLOGIES LLC
Defendants.

For good cause shown, the Court hereby GRANTS Evoqua Water Technologies LLC’s
(“Evoqua”) motion to seal Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies Support’s (“Veolia”) Motion
to Compel Discovery Responses and Documents From Defendants (D.274). The Court finds that
this document contains confidential commercial information proprietary to Evoqua, and that
public dissemination of this information would harm Evoqua. Accordingly, this harm outweighs
any right to access granted by common law.
THEREFORE, it is ORDERED that Veolia’s Motion to Compel Discovery Responses
and Documents From Defendants (D.274) will be sealed.

This ___th day of August, 2014.
