OPINION AND ORDER
Defendants’ Unopposed Sealed Motion to Redact Transcript of August 21, 2012
Hearing, [Dkt. 835] ,has been referred to the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge
for decision.
Defendants seek to replace the name of a person in the transcript of the hearing
held on August 21, 2012 with the designation “[source].” The reason for the request is to
avoid subjecting the person named in the transcript to public criticism. The hearing was
open to the public when it was conducted. The undersigned finds that the desire to avoid
public criticism is not a sufficient reason for the requested redaction.
Defendants’ Motion to Redact [Dkt. 835] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 17th day of October, 2012.
