IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
JOHN WYSINCAVAGE, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Civil Action 2:16-cv-1063
Judge Michael H. Watson
Magistrate Judge Jolson

CENTRAL OHIO GAMING
VENTURES, LLC, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Unopposed Motion for Leave to File
Exhibits Under Seal. (Doc. 42). According to the Motion, “[t]he documents and transcript
portions that Defendants seek to file under seal contain sensitive and proprietary business,
commercial, and financial information . . . and should not be disseminated to the public at large.”
(Id. at 3). Defendants also argued the information they seek to file under seal is narrowly
tailored, as they only wish to file under seal “three exhibits and eleven lines of deposition
transcript.” (Id. at 4). Defendants submitted unredacted copies of the documents they seek to
file under seal to the undersigned for in camera inspection.
Following review, the undersigned believes the Motion properly demonstrates a
compelling reason for filing under seal and is narrowly tailored to serve that reason. See Blasi v.
United Debt Servs., LLC, No. 2:14-CV-83, 2016 WL 3765539, at *1 (S.D. Ohio July 14, 2016)
(noting that a proper motion to seal must “demonstrate[] a compelling reason for filing under
seal, . . . must be narrowly tailored to serve that reason,” and must “analyze in detail, document
by document, the propriety of secrecy, providing reasons and legal citations”). Accordingly, for

good cause shown, Defendants’ Motion for Leave to File Exhibits Under Seal (Doc. 42) is
GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: April 5, 2017
