ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ 

MOTION TO REDACT EXHIBIT A 

OF THE FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT 

Honorable Daniel J. Calabretta 

ORDER

This matter coming before the court on Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion to Redact 

Exhibit A of the First Amended Complaint (Dkt # 63), all parties being duly notified, 

it is hereby ordered that:

Case 2:24-cv-01281-DJC-CSK Document 64 Filed 06/26/24 Page 1 of 2
ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO REDACT EXHIBIT A OF THE FIRST 

AMENDED COMPLAINT 

2

1. Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion to Redact Exhibit A of the First Amended 

Complaint is GRANTED; 

2. Exhibit A of the First Amended Complaint shall be SEALED until 

further Order of the Court; 

3. Access to the sealed document shall be limited to counsel for the plaintiff 

and counsel for the defendants; and 

4. Plaintiffs shall file the redacted copy of Exhibit A within seven (7) days 

of the entry of this order. 

The Court has considered the factors set forth in Oregonian Publishing Co. v. U.S. 

District Court for the District of Oregon, 920 F.2d 1462 (9th Cir. 1990) and finds that, 

for the reasons stated in the Unopposed Motion to Redact, sealing the identified 

document serves a compelling interest. The Court further finds that, in the absence 

of closure, the compelling interests identified by the plaintiff would be harmed. 

In light of the public filing of the Unopposed Motion to Redact, the Court further 

finds that there are no additional alternatives to sealing the exhibit that would 

adequately protect the compelling interests identified by the plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 25, 2024 /s/ Daniel J. Calabretta 

 THE HONORABLE DANIEL J. CALABRETTA 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
