WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

MD Helicopters Incorporated,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

United States of America, et al., 

Defendants.

No. CV-19-02236-PHX-JAT

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to seal the motion for temporary 

restraining order and preliminary injunction. (Doc. 12). Plaintiff has filed a redacted 

version of the motion, redacting only those portions of the motion that Plaintiff claims 

should not be public because they are trade secrets. (Doc. 13). 

This Court may seal portions of the request for injunctive relief only if this Court 

finds compelling reasons to seal the record. Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 

809 F.3d 1092, 1096-97 (9th Cir.), cert. denied sub nom. FCA U.S. LLC v. Ctr. for Auto 

Safety, 137 S. Ct. 38 (2016). Protecting trade secrets is a compelling reason for filing under 

seal. Kamakana v. City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006). Taking 

Plaintiff at its word that each item redacted is a trade secret, the Court will grant the motion 

to seal. 

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not permit this Court to grant a preliminary 

injunction without notice. Because the request for a temporary retraining order and request 

for a preliminary injunction are combined into a single motion, the Court will not take any

action on the requests until notice has been given to the Defendant. Thus, Plaintiff must 

file with the Court a document that proves notice of the motion has been given to the 

Defendant if Plaintiff seeks action in an expedited manner. 

Based on the foregoing, 

IT IS ORDERED that the motion to seal (Doc. 12) is granted; the Clerk of the 

Court shall file the currently lodged motion (Doc. 9) and all exhibits under seal. 

Dated this 16th day of April, 2019.
