______________________________/
THIS CAUSE came on to be heard on Named Plaintiff’s Motion to Seal, and upon thorough
review of the court file and Exh. 23 requested to be sealed, this Court finds that Exh. 23 contains
trade secrets relating to class administration services and pricing that create a countervailing
privacy interest, and potential of harm to the bidders’ businesses, sufficient to warrant an
exception to the rule that court documents are publicly accessible. It is thereby ORDERED
AND ADJUDGED that:
Named Plaintiff’s Motion to Seal is hereby GRANTED and Exh. 23 shall be filed under
seal, with access limited only to the parties and court personnel, until further order of Court. It is
also ordered that DE7-3, mistakenly filed as a public document, be stricken from the record and
only accessible to the parties and court personnel.
