Pursuant to the Protective Order (ECF 111), and Your Honor’s Individual Practices in Civil Cases Rule I.g, we write to request approval to file Merrill’s letter motion to compel Harrington to respond to Merrill’s contention interrogatories under seal and publicly file a version with placeholder exhibits. Merrill has attached as exhibits to its letter motion Harrington’s responses and objections to Merrill’s contention interrogatories, documents that Harrington has designated as Confidential under the Protective Order. The Protective Order provides that all “copies, reproductions, extracts, digests, and complete or partial summaries prepared from any DESIGNATED MATERIALS shall also be considered DESIGNATED MATERIAL and treated as such under this Order.” (ECF 111.) Thus, Merrill seeks to file under seal the letter motion, as well as its exhibits which are copies of documents that Harrington has designated Confidential.
