This court finds that the materials bearing the Bates numbers
B1DP002137-2160 fall within the terms of the protective order,
and the documents should be sealed immediately. Accordingly, it
is, hereby, ORDERED that Defendant's Emergency Motion to Seal
Certain Documents Attached to Plaintiff's Notice of Filing
Concerning Discovery and Sanctions Pursuant to the Court's
February 16, 2005 Order
*fn1 [#141] is GRANTED and that
the Notice of Filing Concerning Discovery and Sanctions Pursuant
to the Court's February 16, 2005 Order
*fn2 [#139] be
SEALED. In addition, in the interests of completion and
fairness, it is, hereby, ORDERED that the following documents
and their attachments be STRICKEN from the public docket
because they reveal some of the contents of the materials that
are now being sealed. These documents are:
1. Plaintiff's Motion and Memorandum in Support for
Discovery and Sanctions Pursuant to the Court's
February 16, 2005 Order*fn3 [#135];
2. Plaintiff's Opposition and Memorandum in Support
in Opposition to Defendant's Emergency Motion to Seal
Certain Documents Attached to Plaintiff's Notice of
Filing Concerning Discovery and Sanctions Pursuant to
the Court's February 16, 2005 Order*fn4 [#142];
3. Plaintiff's Reply in Support of His
Motion*fn5 [#148]; and
4. Plaintiff's Opposition to Defendant's Motion to
File Surreply*fn6 [##153/154].
Finally, it is, hereby, ORDERED that, within 10 days of this
Order, counsel shall re-file these pleadings under seal. In order
to create simultaneously a public record, counsel shall also file
redacted versions of these pleadings and their attachments and
shall designate these documents as such. The redacted versions
and exhibits shall use the same initials used by the court in the
Memorandum Opinion filed this same day. These initials include
S.R., M.K., and K.C, and the court is confident that counsel will
easily be able to determine to whom these initials refer after
reading the Memorandum Opinion issued May 4, 2005. All references
to these individuals, whether in the pleadings or the exhibits
thereto, shall be replaced with these initials.
