DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.

Pursuant to Local Rule 10-5(b) and the Amended Confidentiality and Protective Order in this case (ECF No. 308), AMG Services, Inc. and MNE Services, Inc. move this court for leave to file under seal the following documents: Supplemental Declaration in Support of Defendants' Opposition to the FTC's Motion for Summary Judgment ("Supplemental Declaration") and accompanying exhibits. In support of this motion, Defendants state as follows:

1. On January 11, 2013, this Court entered an amended protective order permitting parties to designate documents and testimony as confidential, and to submit such information to the Court under seal. (ECF No. 308, at 5 ("[F]or Confidential Information attached to or included in dispositive motions, the moving party(ies) must articulate compelling reasons supported by specific facts demonstrating that sealing the document outweighs the public's interest in disclosure. . . .").)

2. Many of the exhibits accompanying the Supplemental Declaration contain consumer data or business information designated "confidential" by the FTC or defendants.

3. The Defendants' Opposition to the FTC's Motion for Summary Judgment, Defendants' Statement of Disputed Facts in Opposition to the FTC's Motion for Summary Judgment, and Defendants' Rule 56(c)(2) Objection to FTC Evidence, or in the Alternative, Rule 56(d) Motion for Additional Discovery contain repeated references to the exhibits designated "confidential."

4. In an abundance of caution, defendants seek leave of Court to file both the Supplemental Declaration and accompanying exhibits under seal.

Accordingly, defendants respectfully ask the Court to grant their motion to file under seal Supplemental Declaration in Support of Defendants' Opposition to the FTC's Motion for Summary Judgment and accompanying exhibits.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
