Airbus Americas, Inc., et al., 1:21-cv-03454-JHR Dear Judge Rearden: Pursuant to Rule 9 of this Court’s Individual Rules of Practice in Civil Cases, the parties jointly seek leave to file their memoranda of law and exhibits in support of Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and the parties’ motions pursuant to Rules 702-705 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993) under a provisional seal until October 18, 2024. The parties’ motions discuss and cite to an extensive evidentiary record that includes numerous exhibits containing sensitive information, including Plaintiff Kristi Vuksanovich’s medical information and the Airbus Defendants’ sensitive commercial information. Given the large volume of exhibits attached to the motions, the parties intend to confer and mutually decide upon which information should be redacted or sealed under the standards set forth in Rule 9 of this Court’s Individual Rules. Accordingly, the parties seek permission to file their exhibits under a provisional seal until October 18, 2024. On that date, the parties will file public versions of their memoranda of law and exhibits, with the agreed-upon sealing of exhibits and/or redactions. Each party will be responsible for their own information, i.e., Plaintiffs will propose sealing and redactions as to their own information, and Defendants will do the same for their information. The parties will accomplish this according to the following schedule:

- By September 20, 2024, the parties will each provide to the other side their proposal for the sealing of exhibits and/or redactions with respect to their own motions.
