ORDER

Upon the motion of Defendants to seal Exhibits B, C, and D to their Appendix to Local
Civil Rule 56.1 Statement of Material Facts on the grounds that the documents contain
information made confidential by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 132-1.4 and that the documents are required
to be filed under seal pursuant to the Consent Protective Order filed in this case;
AND IT APPEARING TO THE COURT good cause has been shown for the granting of
this motion;
AND IT APPEARING TO THE COURT that Defendants have demonstrated the
necessity and propriety of sealing the documents at issue;
AND IT APPEARING TO THE COURT that the request to seal the documents
overcomes any common law or First Amendment presumption to access;
AND IT APPEARING TO THE COURT that the specific qualities of the material to be
1

sealed justify that they be sealed taking into account the competing interest in access;
AND IT APPEARING TO THE COURT that any alternatives to sealing are not
adequate;
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants' Motion to Seal be GRANTED and
Exhibits B, C, and D to their Appendix to Local Civil Rule 56.1 Statement of Material Facts
submitted to this Court will be filed under seal.
SO ORDERED, this the 26th day of September, 2016.
