Pursuant to the discussion with the Court at the Case Management Conference on April 14,

2006, the Court’s April 17, 2006 Order Denying Without Prejudice the parties’ original Stipulation to 

Place Documents Under Seal, and Local Rule 79-5, Plaintiff United States Gypsum Company

(“USG”) and Defendant Pacific Award Metals, Inc. (“Award”) respectfully inform the Court as

follows:

1. In keeping with the admonition of Local Rule 79-5 that any motion to seal “must be 

narrowly tailored to seek sealing of only sealable material,” the parties have agreed that Award’s 

previously filed Motion for Administrative Relief Requesting Leave to File a Motion for Summary

Judgment, filed on April 7, 2006 (Docket No. 164), may remain locked and inaccessible to the public. 

In its place, Award proposes to file an Amended Motion for Administrative Relief Requesting Leave 

to File a Motion for Summary Judgment which will omit certain words contained in Award’s original 

filing to which USG objected as disclosing trade secrets.

2. USG requests the Court to seal Exhibits 1 and 2 to the Declaration of Michael P.

Padden in Support of Opposition of Plaintiff United States Gypsum Company to Defendant’s Motion 

for Administrative Relief Requesting Leave to File a Second Motion for Summary Judgment, filed on 

April 12, 2006 (Docket No. 166). These two Exhibits — Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Second 

Set of Interrogatories (No. 10) and Plaintiff’s Disclosure of Trade Secrets — set forth specific and

confidential descriptions of the USG’s claimed trade secrets that were designated as Confidential

and/or Confidential Outside Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the Protective Order entered in this case.

3. USG has elected not to seek the sealing/redaction of its previously filed Opposition to 

Defendant’s Motion for Administrative Relief Requesting Leave to File a Second Motion for

Summary Judgment, filed on April 12, 2006 (Docket No. 165).

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court instruct the clerk: to lock and

make inaccessible Award’s previously filed Motion for Administrative Relief Requesting Leave to

File a Motion for Summary Judgment; to allow Award to file its Amended Motion for Administrative 

Relief Requesting Leave to File a Motion for Summary Judgment; and to seal Exhibits 1 and 2 to the 

Padden Declaration filed on April 12, 2006.

The parties understand that, despite the re-filing of Defendant’s motion and the sealing of

certain exhibits filed by Plaintiff, the Court has already denied Defendant’s Motion for

Administrative Relief Requesting Leave to File a Second Motion for Summary Judgment, and thus

that the Court will take no further action on that motion.
