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 reply briefs in support of Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and 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 November 1, 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. 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, Defendants seek permission to file their reply briefs under a provisional seal until November 1, 2024. On that date, Defendants will file public versions of their replies, with agreed-upon 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. Consistent with this Court’s rules, the parties will also file by November 1 a letter motion explaining why the information should be redacted or sealed. The parties appreciate the Court’s consideration of this matter.
