DIRECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF

Before the Court is plaintiff’s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, filed January

21, 2014, wherein plaintiff seeks leave to file under seal portions of its Opposition to

Defendants’ Administrative Motion No. 2 Seeking Evidentiary Hearing on Damages Prior to

Trial and the entirety of Exhibit A to the Declaration of Enrique D. Duarte, containing

excerpts from the Rebuttal Expert Report of James E. Malackowski filed in support of said

motion, both of which, plaintiff states, disclose material defendants designated as

Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, the Designating Party must file a declaration . . .

establishing that all of the designated information is sealable.” Id. at 79-5(e)(1). “If the

Designating Party does not file a responsive declaration as required by subsection 79-

5(e)(1) and the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal is denied, the Submitting Party

may file the document in the public record no earlier than 4 days, and no later than 10

days, after the motion is denied.” Id. at 79-5(e)(2).

Here, the designating party has not filed a responsive declaration within the requisite

time.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to file under seal is hereby DENIED, and plaintiff is

hereby DIRECTED to file in the public record, no later than February 14, 2014, an

unredacted version of its Opposition to Defendants’ Administrative Motion No. 2 Seeking

Evidentiary Hearing on Damages Prior to Trial as well as Exhibit A to the Declaration of

Enrique D. Duarte in Support of Power Integrations’ Opposition to Defendants’

Administrative Motion No. 2.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
