Pending before the Court is the Sabre Defendants’ Unopposed Motion to Permanently

grant the motion.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the records listed in Exhibit “A” to this Order
shall not be unsealed upon expiration of the sixty (60) day period described in Local Rule 79.4.
It is further ORDERED that the records identified in Exhibit “A” to this Order be, and hereby are
permanently sealed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that notwithstanding the records identified in Exhibit “A”
are permanently sealed, any party may possess, use, control, and disclose its own confidential
documents or information listed in Exhibit “A”. Possession and use of documents or information
produced in discovery in this litigation that was designated “Confidential” or “Outside
Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information” under the Protective Orders of this Court remain subject to

Page 1

It is further ORDERED that if any party in possession of records sealed by this Order is
served with a discovery request, subpoena or an order issued in other litigation or proceedings
that would compel disclosure of records sealed by this Order, the party served with the discovery
request, subpoena or order must:
a.
Notify in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable, the party whose
confidential material is contained within the record sought (“Supplying Party”).
Such notification shall include a copy of the discovery request, subpoena or order.
b.
Notify in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable, the party who caused
the subpoena or order to issue in the other proceeding that some or all of the
material covered by the discovery request, subpoena or order is subject to this
Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Order.
If the Supplying Party timely seeks a protective order, the party served with the discovery
request, subpoena or order shall not produce any record sealed by this Order before a
determination by the court from which the discovery request, subpoena or court order issued,
unless the Supplying Party has given its permission to produce the sealed record. The Supplying
Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its sealed material –
and nothing in this Order should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a party to disobey a
lawful directive from another court.
SIGNED October ___, 2013.
