Case No. 11C0162

JUI LI ENTERPRISE COMPANY LTD., et al.,
Defendants

ORDER
Direct purchaser plaintiffs have filed a motion requesting that they be allowed to file
under seal unredacted versions of their memorandum in support of their motion to compel
defendants to produce documents, and exhibits F–I to the declaration of Jessica N. Servais
in support of the motion to compel. Plaintiffs argue that these documents contain

information that defendants have marked confidential pursuant to the parties’ protective
order. Since courts are public institutions, plaintiffs’ unsupported claim that these
documents are confidential is not sufficient to overcome the presumption of openness. See
Cnty. Materials Corp. v. Allan Block Corp., 502 F.3d 730, 740 (7th Cir. 2007).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the parties have 10 days to show good cause
why the motion to file documents under seal [DOCKET #274] should be granted.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 14th day of March 2012.
