United States, et al.,
Defendants.

CASE NO. 17-CV-00094-LK
ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED
MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION AND
GRANTING STIPULATED
MOTION FOR ORDER
ALLOWING REDACTED FILINGS

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ timely Unopposed Motion to Reconsider
Order of February 22, 2022. Dkt. No. 593. The Court finds that the parties’ request to file
provisionally redacted versions of summary judgment briefs as an interim measure before the
Court resolves the designation disputes, Dkt. Nos. 593, 568, has merit in the unique circumstances
of this case. Therefore, the Court GRANTS the motion for reconsideration, Dkt. No. 593, and
GRANTS the parties’ July 2021 Joint Stipulation, Dkt. No. 568.
The Court lifts the stay on this case for the sole purpose of allowing the parties to file, in
accordance with the terms of their joint stipulation, redacted versions of the Plaintiffs’ Motion for
