In Subramanian v. Lupin Inc., Judge Parker ordered Lupin’s opposition letter filed under seal to protect confidential information.
Lupin, Inc., the Sellers involved in the letter motion to compel, and public access to the confidential information referenced in Lupin’s opposition letter.
What happened
In Veerappan Subramanian v. Lupin, Inc., Lupin asked the court to file under seal its response to a letter motion to compel filed by the Sellers.
Lupin said the response referred to confidential information from another case and to testimony designated confidential. Those references were redacted from the publicly filed version.
The court ordered the response filed under seal. The order identifies Katharine H. Parker as the United States Magistrate Judge.
The detailed version
- Subramanian v. Lupin Inc. · No. 1:17-cv-05040
- Ronnie Abrams
- Nov. 27, 2019
Background
Lupin, Inc., which the letter identifies as a defendant and counterclaim plaintiff, responded to the Sellers’ November 22, 2019 letter motion to compel. Lupin asked the court to accept its opposition letter under seal.
Request to Seal
Lupin stated that the opposition letter referred to confidential information concerning the Euticals Action and to testimony by Mary Furlong that had been designated confidential. Lupin redacted those references from the publicly filed version. It argued that the information had not historically been open to the press and general public and cited the “experience and logic test” for sealing court filings.
Ruling
The document ends with “SO ORDERED” and identifies Katharine H. Parker as United States Magistrate Judge. The court therefore ordered the opposition letter and the identified confidential material to be filed under seal.
