TONIANNE J. BONGIOVANNI, Magistrate Judge.

THIS MATTER having been brought before the Court on Plaintiff Congoo LLC d/b/a Adblade's ("Adblade") motion to redact the transcript of the February 10, 2017 hearing pursuant to L. Civ. R. 5.3; and the Court having considered the submission in connection with the motion; and the Court having considered the factors contained in L. Civ. R. 5.3(c)(2), the Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:

1. Adblade has a legitimate interest in protecting the confidentiality of its confidential commercial information that is contained in the portions of the transcript of the February 10, 2017 hearing identified in the Index of Redactions submitted as Exhibit A to the Declaration of Alexander Solo.

2. Public disclosure of disclosure of these matters would provide competitors, business partners, contractors, and employees an unfair advantage in negotiations with Adblade and would thereby harm Adblade's business.

3. Adblade's requested redaction and sealing is the least restrictive alternative because it the redactions identifies only the confidential materials.

WHEREFORE, the Court having found that there are legitimate public and private interests which warrant the relief sought; and for good cause shown, it is:

ORDERED that the portions of the preliminary injunction hearing transcripts identified in the Index of Redactions submitted as Exhibit A to the Declaration of Alexander Solo be REDACTED AND SEALED and that Adblade shall submit to the court reporter/transcription agency a Statement of Redaction and Sealing pursuant to L. Civ. R. 5.3 to accomplish same.

SO ORDERED.
