NOTICE OF REASSIGNMENT

ORDER LIFTING SEAL

This matter has been reassigned to Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James for all purposes,

including trial and entry of judgment. All future filings shall reflect the initials “MEJ” after the case

number, as designated above. When filing papers that require the Court to take any action, the

parties shall lodge chambers copies by noon of the next court day following the day the papers are

filed electronically. These printed copies shall be marked “Chambers Copy” and shall be submitted

to the Clerk’s Office, in an envelope clearly marked with "Magistrate Judge James," the case

number and “E-Filing Chambers Copy.” 

Although this entire case was originally placed under seal, the Court finds that good cause

exists to lift the seal, with certain documents remaining under seal. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court

shall lift the seal on this case, but the following documents shall remain under seal:

Dkt. #1 Complaint

Dkt. #7 Confidential Petition for Order Approving Compromise 

Dkt. #8 Confidential Declaration of Fabrice Vincent in Support of Plaintiff’s Petition

Dkt. #9 Confidential Declaration of Jill Eberle in Support of Plaintiff’s Petition

No Dkt. # [Proposed] Order Approving Compromise of the Claim of Plaintiff

If the parties wish to file any documents under seal subsequent to this Order, they must comply with

Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

As to Plaintiff’s petition (Dkt. #7), the Court finds a hearing and further briefing unnecessary

if all parties are in agreement. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to file either a

stipulation to approve the compromise or a joint request that the Court set the matter for a hearing

and establish a briefing schedule. The parties shall file their statement by March 1, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
