STIPULATED ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO FILE CLASS CHECKS LIST UNDER PARTIAL SEAL AS REQUIRED BY COURT (DKT. NO. 226)

WILLIAM H. ALSUP, District Judge.

The parties, through their respective counsel, stipulate to request an order to file under seal a list with the identifying information associated with class members eligible for settlement checks as required by this Court.

WHEREAS, in the Order Granting Final Approval of Class Action Settlement Agreement and Awarding Attorney's Fees and Expenses, the Court ordered that: "Counsel shall file on the public docket a final list of the names of the class members bound by the settlement, and shall file under seal a list of their names and identifying information. The list shall indicate which checks remained uncashed or were returned." Dkt. No. 226, at 5.

WHEREAS the Class Administrator Kurtzman Carson Consultants (KCC), under supervision of Class Counsel, compiled a class checks list reflecting the names and identifying information of class members eligible for settlement checks, and whether the class member had cashed the settlement check (Class Checks List). The Class Checks List contains a Claim ID number that KCC used for each authorized settlement check, the class member's name, and the amount of the settlement check. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange or AAFES) also provided KCC with a list of settlement checks it subsequently issued to unpaid class members that cleared, and KCC incorporated AAFES' cashed check data into the list. In the "Status" column, "C" means the check was cashed and "U" means it was not cashed or was not issued because no valid address could be found for the class member. The "SS#" column contains the class member's social security number.

WHEREAS, as required by Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(A), attached as Exhibit 1 is a declaration of Alicia M. Hunt establishing that the identifying information on the Class Checks List created by KCC is sealable.

WHEREAS, as required by Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(C), attached as Exhibit 2 is a redacted version of the Class Checks List, which is a list of the names of the class members eligible for settlement checks with identifying information redacted. The exhibit is labeled "Redacted Version of Document Sought To Be Sealed." The redacted version of the Class Checks List was also filed as Exhibit A to the Final Report.

WHEREAS, as required by Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(D), attached as Exhibit 3 is the unredacted version of the document. The identifying information to be sealed is the Social Security number information listed in the column marked "SS #", and the exhibit reflects the notation that it is an "Unredacted Version of Document Sought To Be Sealed."

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

I, Alicia M. Hunt, hereby attest that I have received approval to file this document from the other signatories whose signatures are indicated below by a "conformed" signature (/s/).

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Pursuant to the foregoing stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Social Security numbers on Exhibit 3 to this Stipulated Administrative Motion is filed under seal to protect the identifying information of class members.
