ORDER

(May 2, 2003)

For the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, and consistent

with the broad discretion granted to this Court, it is, this 2nd of May, 2003, hereby,

ORDERED that the parties responsible for filing the evidentiary record, inclusive of

documents and testimony, shall re-file, as part of the public record, an unredacted version

of the previously sealed portions of the record, provided that:
5

1. The Three-Judge District Court relies on the source to support a proposition cited

in its Opinions or Findings of Fact,

2. The Court has not otherwise indicated, by sealing the citation, that the supporting

document should remain under seal, and

3. The Court has not quoted directly from the source, relieving the party in question

of its obligation to disclose a physical copy of the cited material; and it is further

ORDERED that the parties responsible for re-filing portions of the evidentiary

record, inclusive of documents and testimony, relied upon by the Three-Judge District Court

need only disclose the precise portion of the source indicated in the citation; and it is further

ORDERED that personal information, including telephone and fax numbers, bank

account and credit card information, and e-mail and general mailing addresses, may be

redacted from the disclosed documents; and it is further

ORDERED that, in regard to Judge Henderson’s Opinion, where she cites to portions

of Defendants’ Amended Proposed Findings of Fact and Defendant Intervenors’ Proposed

Findings of Fact, Defendant and Defendant Intervenors shall redact the following portions

of the cited material:

Defendants’ Amended Proposed Findings of Fact:

• ¶ 95

• ¶ 100

• ¶ 123, lines 5, 6, and line 7 through the identification of the sealed document.
6

• ¶ 142

• ¶ 164

• ¶ 676

Defendant Intervenors’ Proposed Findings of Fact:

• ¶ 27, line 11, beginning with the identification of the document, and

continuing until the end of the finding;

and it is further

ORDERED that the following Findings in Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s Findings of Fact

contain documents that have been sealed and shall not be disclosed by the parties, as

indicated in the Findings:

• ¶ 171.3

• ¶ 1.74.3

• ¶ 1.78.1

• ¶ 2.6.5.1

and it is further

ORDERED that the following Findings in Judge Leon’s Findings of Fact contain

documents that have been sealed and shall not be disclosed by the parties as indicated in the

Findings:

• ¶ 34

• ¶ 238

• ¶ 240
7

and it is further

ORDERED that the parties shall re-file with the Court on the public record unredacted briefs disclosing only what has been cited in the Opinions of the Three-Judge

District Court and not sealed consistent with the rest of this Order. If not cited to by the

Three-Judge District Court in its Opinions, the evidentiary references in the briefs shall

remain under seal; and it is further

ORDERED that, where the parties filed unsealed exhibits and evidentiary records

with the Court in conjunction with sealed material, the parties shall segregate those portions

that were not filed under seal and refile them with the Court as part of the public record; and

it is further 

ORDERED that the parties responsible for re-filing documents and the evidentiary

record relied upon by the Three-Judge District Court, including any briefings, evidentiary

records, or findings of fact originally filed with the Court under seal, shall comply with this

Order no later than ten (10) days after the Three-Judge District Court has released its

decision. 

SO ORDERED.
