ORDER
This matter is before the court on defendant's motion to seal four deposition transcripts
attached as exhibits to defendant's motion for in camera review. (Docket no. 308). Defendant
filed this motion to seal indicating that plaintiffs had designated those transcripts as privileged,
confidential, or highly confidential under the terms of the protective order in this case. (Docket
no. 309). In accordance with Local Civil Rule 5, the United States has filed a response to this
motion. (Docket no. 347). Given that the documents involved in this motion to seal are
deposition transcripts of significant length and taking into consideration the process the parties
have agreed to in the protective order for reviewing deposition transcripts for designation as
containing confidential information, the United States requests that the court defer ruling on this
motion to seal until the United States has had the opportunity to carefully review the transcripts
"to make a narrowly tailored determination as to whether any ofthe contents ofthe transcripts
should remain under seal." (Docket no. 347 at 2). The court finds that under these specific
circumstances this request is reasonable, and it is hereby
ORDERED that on or before September 29,2023, the United States file a supplemental
response to this motion to seal that attaches those portions ofthe deposition transcripts that the Page 2 PageID#
United States believes may be filed in the public record, along with a detailed justification for
any material that has been redacted from those transcripts that have been filed in the public
record. Pending further order of the court, exhibits 1^ will remain under seal.
