under seal a document marked as confidential by another party, the 

party that designated the document as confidential must file a 

supporting declaration within four days of the filing of the motion

not filed a supporting declaration. Dr. Gonda is hereby ORDERED to 

show cause why the mediation brief should not be filed in the 

public record. Dr. Gonda shall file the necessary supporting 

documents (as described in the Protective Order and Civil Local 

Rules) within four (4) days of the signature date of this Order. 

Failure to do so will result in denial of the motion to file under 

seal and a corresponding order for Defendants to file the brief in 

the public record. Dr. Gonda is further admonished that future 

failures to comply with the protective order and Civil Local Rules 

may result in denial of motions to file under seal. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
