This matter comes before the Court on the “Joint Motion on Filing Under Seal.” Dkt.
# 212. Pursuant to LCR 5(g), the parties seek the Court’s ruling regarding the seal of veterinary
records (Dkt. # 214) and an unredacted reply brief which refers to information that was
designated as confidential by defendant Olympic Game Farm (“OGF”) and/or third-party
Sequim Animal Hospital (Dkt. # 213). For the reasons set forth in the “Order Regarding Motion
to Seal (Dkt. # 157),” dated January 7, 2022, the Court finds that defendants have not made the
showing necessary to preclude public access to the records at issue. The joint motion to seal
(Dkt. # 212) is therefore DENIED. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal Dkt. # 213-214.
