AVERN COHN, District Judge.
I.
This is a misappropriation of trade secrets case. Plaintiff, J.S.T. Corporation ("JST"), is suing Defendants, Robert Bosch LLC, Robert Bosch GmbH, and Bosch Automotive Products Co., Ltd. (collectively, "Bosch").
The Court appointed an Expert Advisor to deal with discovery and other matters. (Doc. 191). The Expert Advisor issued a Report and Recommendation No. 10 Regarding Protective Order and Sealing of Documents (Doc. 373) which addresses JST's motion to modify the scheduling order (Doc. 300) and the Court's concern over the volume of documents being filed under seal. See Doc. 322. The Expert Advisor recommends the following:
1. The Stipulated Protective Order (Docs. 28, 170, 171) not be modified or vacated
2. The parties shall be more judicious in filing documents under seal. To this end, the Expert Advisor recommends a six (6) step procedure for the parties to follow when filing documents under seal. This procedure includes a provision awarding attorney fees and costs incurred by the party that prevails in a contested sealing issue.
The parties did not lodge any objections with the Expert Advisor.
II.
The Court, having considered the matter, agrees with the recommendations of the Expert Advisor. Accordingly, Report and Recommendation No. 10 is ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions of the Court. JST's motion to modify the scheduling order is DENIED. The parties shall follow the six (6) step procedure when filing documents under seal as set forth the in Report and Recommendation. See Doc. 373 at p. 9-10.
