REQUEST TO CONDITIONALLY SEAL DOCUMENTS 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to Local Rule 141 and to the Stipulated Protective 

Order and Confidentiality Agreement entered in this case [Docket No. 40], Plaintiffs seek court 

approval to file their Opposition to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint, 

the Declaration of Eric J. Buescher in Support thereof and its attached exhibit under seal. 

1. The parties’ Stipulated Protective Order provides: 

1. The Parties shall have the right to designate as confidential any 

documents, things and information produced in compliance to a discovery 

request or other requirement of the rules of discovery which contains trade 

secrets, confidential research, development, commercial or financial 

information or any other proprietary or confidential business information. 

11. All Confidential Documents and any papers containing 

information contained therein or derived therefrom that are filed with the 

Judge shall be filed in accordance with Local Rules 141 and 141.1(e). 

[Docket No. 40]. 

2. Defendants have designated the document attached as Exhibit 1 to the Declaration 

of Eric J. Buescher as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Plaintiffs do not believe that the document is 

properly designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” under the Protective Order, and reserve their right to 

challenge that designation. However, Plaintiffs request that the Court allow the Opposition to 

Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint, the Declaration of Eric J. Buescher 

in Support thereof and its attached exhibit to be filed under seal to avoid disclosing the 

information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” in Plaintiffs’ Opposition to Defendant’s Motion to 

Dismiss the First Amended Complaint, the Declaration of Eric J. Buescher in Support thereof and 

its attached exhibit. 

3. The following portions of Plaintiffs’ Opposition to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss 

First Amended Complaint include or are derived from the exhibit Defendant has marked as 

“CONFIDENTIAL;”
