Before the Court is an administrative motion to file under seal, filed September 4,

Motion to Exclude the Opinions and Testimony of Jonathan D. Putnam,” as well as portions

of Fairchild’s motion that make reference to said exhibits. 

By order filed October 20, 2015, the Court deferred ruling on the administrative

motion to the extent it sought to seal the entirety of Exhibits A - C to the Declaration of

Christina Ondrick (“Ondrick Declaration”) and portions of the Motion to Exclude.1 By the
