ORDER

(Notice of In Camera Submission — Dkt. #5)

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

This matter is before the Court on the Notice of In Camera Submission (Dkt. #5) filed by Respondent United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") on November 25, 2015. This proceeding is referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 and 1-9 of the Local Rules of Practice.

The Notice indicates that the CFTC's Response to Movant GDCM Trust's Motion to Quash Subpoenas (Dkt. #1) and accompanying exhibits have been submitted in camera for the Court's consideration pursuant to the Right to Financial Privacy Act (the "Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 3401 et seq. Section 3410 of the Act provides that the Government may file its response "in camera if the Government includes in its response the reasons which make in camera review appropriate." 12 U.S.C. § 3410(b). The CFTC's Opposition and the attached declaration provide support for submitting most, but not all, of the filing in camera. A large portion of the Response consists of the statutory and case law on articulating the legal standards the Court should apply in determining the outcome of the Motion to Quash.

There is a presumption of public access to judicial files and records. Although the CFTC is entitled to submit its confidential reasons for seeking the records at issue in camera, there is no reason the entire response should be kept confidential from the public or GDCM Trust. The CFTC's citation to the applicable statutes, regulations, and case law supporting its position, its factual arguments that it has complied with all applicable statutes and regulations, and the procedural history of its communications with opposing counsel should be part of the public record. Its reasons for requesting the records and supporting declarations need not be disclosed. The Court therefore instructs the CFTC to file and serve a redacted Response consistent with this order on or before December 8, 2015.

IT IS ORDERED that Respondent United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission shall FILE a redacted version of its Response on or before December 8, 2015, and SERVE a copy of the redacted Response on counsel for GDCM Trust.
