In Chanel v. The RealReal, Judge Gorenstein granted three sealing applications and terminated two other motions as moot.
Chanel, Inc. and The RealReal, Inc., as parties to the case; the order also affects public access to the redacted information in the sealed filings.
What happened
In Chanel, Inc. v. The RealReal, Inc., the court considered three applications to seal materials filed at Docket numbers 251, 257, and 263. The opinion says the redacted material was represented to be confidential business information.
The court granted all three sealing applications. It also directed the Clerk to terminate the motions at Docket numbers 265 and 268 as moot, meaning the court considered them no longer requiring a ruling.
Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein issued the order on October 26, 2022. The order addressed sealing and related motions, not the underlying dispute between Chanel, Inc. and The RealReal, Inc.

Rulings
The court granted the applications to seal filed at Docket numbers 251, 257, and 263. Sealing restricts public access to specified court filings or information. The court relied on the representation that the redacted material consisted of confidential business information and stated that only a modest showing was required to seal matters related to discovery disputes.
The court also directed the Clerk to terminate the motions docketed at numbers 265 and 268 as moot. The opinion does not identify the substance of those motions or explain why they had become moot.
Effect
The order resolved the three sealing applications and ended the need for action on the two motions designated as moot. It did not decide the underlying claims or defenses in the case.
