Request
Lululemon asked for permission to file under seal three figures in its letter brief concerning the construction, or interpretation, of “Surrounding Textile Structure.” The letter said the figures contained information designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under the protective order. The letter also stated that the same information had previously been submitted in a sealed filing and that the court had previously granted a request to seal it.
Lululemon said the letter brief did not contain any of its own confidential information. The request relied on the court’s earlier ruling and cited Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga.
Ruling
The court granted the request. The clerk was directed to terminate the motion listed at ECF No. 264. The order did not otherwise decide the meaning of “Surrounding Textile Structure” or the parties’ underlying dispute.
