The Honorable Marsha J. Pechman

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE No. CV07-00475 MJP STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER PERMITTING FILING OF REDACTED BRIEFS ON MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION

STIPULATION On November 19, 2007, Microsoft filed its Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion for Class Certification [Dkt. No. 87]. On that same day, Microsoft filed a Motion to Seal [Dkt. No. 85], asking the Court to seal certain portions of Microsoft s Opposition. In its Proposed Order in connection with the Motion to Seal, Microsoft proposed that it would file a redacted version of its Opposition, as has been the custom with respect to other sealed briefs in this matter. See, e.g., Redaction to Sealed Motion for Class Certification [Dkt. No. 83]. The pending Motion to Seal is calendared for consideration on December 11, 2007. In the meantime, because this matter has attracted interest in the media and from the public, Microsoft has requested plaintiffs consent to the filing of a redacted version of its Opposition in advance of disposition of its Motion to Seal, so as to permit public access to that document. Without prejudice to their position with respect to the pending Motion to Seal, plaintiffs
