ORDER
On March 22, 2024, the Special Master recommended reallocating his fees and
costs going forward. No party objected. Therefore, without objection and based on
its independent review of the Special Master’s Report and Recommendation, the
Court ADOPTS that recommendation and DIRECTS the Special Master to
appropriately allocate his fees and costs accordingly.
On April 16, 2024, the Court granted the Special Master’s request to file a
Report and Recommendation regarding certain sanctions under seal provisionally.
In doing so, the Court ruled that it would unseal that Report and Recommendation

1

after 21 days. In the more than 21 days since then, no party has requested an
extension of this deadline or otherwise sought to maintain the seal in whole or in
part. Therefore, the Court ORDERS the Clerk to unseal the Special Master’s Report
and Recommendation dated April 16, 2024 (Blasingim ECF No. 262; McCracken ECF
No. 130).
SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 9, 2024
