EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
ALEXANDRIA DIVISION
UNITED STATES, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
vs.
No: 1:23-cv-00108-LMB-JFA
GOOGLE LLC,
Defendant.
PROPOSED ORDER
PURSUANT TO Local Civil Rule 5(C), Defendant Google LLC (“Google”) filed a
motion to seal, seeking leave to file a redacted Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for In Camera
Inspection and to Compel Production of Documents Withheld As Privileged, and certain sealed
exhibits submitted in support thereof (“Motion”).
Upon consideration of the Motion and supporting papers, the Court finds that (i)
sufficient notice has been given (Dkt. No. ______); (ii) the exhibits and redacted text contain
Google’s confidential business information, which may be shielded from public disclosure under
Rule 26(c)(1)(G); (iii) only sealing will sufficiently protect Google from competitive harm and
its employees’ privacy interests; (iv) the limited sealing and redaction properly balances
Google’s interests as against the public’s interest; and (v) the public’s right of access, whether
based on the good cause standard or the common law right of access, has been overcome; and it
is hereby
ORDERED that the motion to seal is GRANTED and these exhibits and redacted text
shall remain under seal until further order of the Court. Page 2 PageID#
