CASE NO. 1:13-CV-001819-BAM

JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO

request to seal document # 99. Document # 99 was filed as the Second Amended Complaint

with redactions as ordered by the Court on March 24, 2016. However, counsel for Defendants 

have notified counsel for Plaintiff that paragraphs 43-50 in the document were not redacted, but 

highlighted in black, which made the confidential information still accessible by performing 

certain computing processes. Plaintiff was unaware of this possibility upon filing. 

The redacted information in the Second Amended Complaint includes paragraphs 43-50 

and is currently subject to a protective order. As such, the Document should be sealed so that 

this information is not accessible by the public. Plaintiff will then refile the Second Amended 

Complaint with the same paragraphs redacted but by a means where the text under the 

redactions may not be accessed. 

Good cause exists to grant the streamlined request to seal the document as the basis for 

the same is to comply with the Court’s previous order (Doc. No. 97) and remedy a redaction 

error. Moreover, this request should be granted on an expedited basis to prevent the 

dissemination of information that is currently subject to a protective order and to prevent any 

potential prejudice to the parties. WHEREFORE the parties request that Document # 99 be 

sealed accordingly and an instruction given to the Clerk to accomplish the same. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
