NOTICE OF FILING AMENDED

DOCUMENT

Trial Date: March 20, 2012

Time: 8:30 a.m.

Judge: Hon. James V. Selna

On February 7, 2011, this Court issued an Order Granting Leave to File

Amended Complaint Under Temporary Seal (“Temporary Seal Order”) permitting

plaintiff Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) to file an unredacted Amended

Complaint Under Temporary Seal. Docket No. 48. The Temporary Seal Order

 The FTC only opposed redaction of the internal LOA email references. 1

The FTC did not oppose redacting LOA sales figures and the Temporary Seal

Order allowed for filing the Amendment Complaint with the sales figures redacted. 

remain in place. The FTC filed an unredacted Amended Complaint under

Temporary Seal as well as a publicly filed Redacted Amended Complaint. Docket

Nos. 42 and 49.

Subsequent to the Temporary Seal Order, LOA filed an Application to

Retain Redacted Amended Complaint (“Application”) asking the Court to retain,

as the operative public document in this matter, the FTC’s Redacted Amended

Complaint with redaction of references to internal LOA emails and LOA sales

figures. The FTC opposed that Application. On March 31, 2011, the Court 1

entered an order denying LOA’s Application. Docket No. 87.

Therefore, consistent with the Temporary Seal Order, the FTC submits for

filing and entry on the public docket the FTC’s Amended Complaint (attached

hereto as Exhibit A) with all redactions removed, except for the sales figures

referenced in the Temporary Seal Order. The unredacted Amended Complaint

shall remain under seal.

Respectfully submitted,
