ORDER

Case No. 1-17-cv-237

The court previously entered a protective order in this matter, under which the party seeking
to file discovery materials marked confidential by the opposing party must seek the court’s leave to
file those documents under seal. (Doc. No. 21). In accordance with that obligation, Plaintiffs Trinity
Hospitals, Inc. and Trinity Health, Inc. previously filed a motion for leave to file a motion to compel
under seal because the forthcoming motion to compel concerned materials marked confidential by
the Defendants. (Doc. No. 28). The court granted and denied Trinity’s motion in part. (Doc. No.
29). The court instructed Trinity to file its motion to compel, a redacted memorandum, and nonconfidential materials without seal, which Trinity did. (Doc. Nos. 30, 32). The court further ordered
Trinity to file an unredacted memorandum and confidential materials temporarily under seal, which
Trinity also did. (Doc. Nos. 31, 33-51). The court required both parties to submit a response as to
why the sealed documents should not be unsealed. Both parties have since responded and do not
contest the unsealing of the documents currently sealed in this case. (Doc. Nos. 53, 57).
Accordingly, the court ORDERS the Clerk of Court’s Office to unseal Doc. Nos. 31, 33-51.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 9th day of July, 2018.
