Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
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 Exhibits 16, 23, 24, and 25 to the Declaration of Blake Wong in
Support of Defendants' Combined Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion to Compel (D.274) and
Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint (D.276). The Court finds that these
documents contain 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 Exhibits 16, 23, 24, and 25 to the Declaration of
Blake Wong in Support of Defendants' Combined Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion to Compel
(D.274) and Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint (D.276) will be sealed.
This

l ~day of CX.-l-~ 2014.
