WENDY PETKA,

Petitioner,

v.

MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-mc-80196-MEJ 

ORDER RE: MOTIONS TO SEAL

Re: Dkt. Nos. 15, 20, 21

Petitioner Wendy Petka (“Petitioner”) and Respondent Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

(“Mylan”) have each filed motions to file under seal. First Mylan Mot., Dkt. No. 15; Pet. Mot., 

Dkt. No. 20; Second Mylan Mot. Dkt. No. 21. The Court addresses each in turn. 

A. Mylan’s Motions to File Under Seal

Mylan seeks to seal portions of documents filed in support of its Opposition to Petitioner’s 

Motion to Quash. Mylan has filed two separation motions regarding the same documents. See

First Mylan Mot.; Second Mylan Mot. The Second Motion appears to amend the first, but the 

Motions are not materially different. Compare Dkt. No. 15-5, with Dkt. No. 21-5. Petitioner has 

not opposed either motion. Accordingly, the Court STRIKES Mylan’s First Motion to Seal, and, 

finding good cause exists, GRANTS Mylan’s Second Motion to Seal. The following portions of 

Mylan’s Opposition shall be redacted:

1. Mylan’s Opposition to Motion to Quash the Subpoena of Non-Party Wendy 

Petka, Esq.: page 3, lines 17-24; page 4, lines 1-3, 11-14, fn.5, fn. 6; page 6, fn.

8; page 7, lines 3-6; page 11, lines 18-24; and page 12, lines 1-5.

2. Mylan’s and Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc.’s Brief In Support of their 

Motion for Leave to File Their Amended Answers to the Amended Complaint,
