Defendant had requested the two subject exhibits be filed under seal out of “an

abundance of caution,” (see Def.’s Admin. Mot. at 2:21), because the time for plaintiff to

designate them as confidential had not yet passed. Plaintiff, in its response to defendant’s

motion, did not advise the Court that either of said two exhibits contain confidential

material.

2

With respect to the remaining documents, specifically, Exhibits J and K to the

Declaration of Jeremy M. Duggan in Support of Nanometrics Incorporated’s Motions for

Summary Judgment, defendant’s motion is hereby DENIED, for the reason that neither

party has advised the Court that said exhibits contain confidential material.1

Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to file in the public record Exhibits J and K to the

Declaration of Jeremy M. Duggan in Support of Nanometrics Incorporated’s Motions for

Summary Judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
