FTC'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE IWORKS' WHITE PAPER UNDER TEMPORARY SEAL
GEORGE FOLEY, Jr., Magistrate Judge.
Earlier today, the FTC filed its opposition [D.E. 1708] to Defendant Jeremy Johnson's Motion for Protective Order [D.E. 1704] and the concurrent motions of defendant Ryan Riddle and settled defendant Bryce Payne. Defendants seek to prevent the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") from disclosing "confidential" materials contained in a "white paper" they submitted to the FTC in 2010 (the "iWorks White Paper"). The FTC opposes the motions for protective order because the materials in question are no longer confidential, if they ever deserved that designation, and the presumption of public access requires that they be part of the public record in the event they are used as evidence at trial. Since it is impossible for the Court to evaluate the merits of the motions without reviewing the iWorks White Paper, the FTC seeks leave to file it under a temporary seal.
For all the foregoing reasons, the Court should grant the FTC's motion and allow it to file the iWorks White Paper under a temporary seal.
[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING FTC'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE IWORKS WHITE PAPER UNDER TEMPORARY SEAL
Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission has applied for an Order allowing it to file a "white paper" defendants submitted to the FTC in 2010 (the "iWorks White Paper") containing allegedly confidential material under a temporary seal pending a decision on defendant Jeremy Johnson's Motion for Protective Order [D.E. 1704] and the concurrent motions of defendant Ryan Riddle and settled defendant Bryce Payne.
Having considered the FTC's motion, any opposition, and being duly advised, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the FTC is permitted to file the iWorks White Paper, its appendices, and the cover letter containing allegedly confidential material under a temporary seal that will remain in place pending a decision on defendant Jeremy Johnson's Motion for Protective Order [D.E. 1704] and the concurrent motions of defendant Ryan Riddle and settled defendant Bryce Payne.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
