Frontier Airlines, Inc. v. AMCK Aviation Holdings Ireland Limited

Nature of the filing

This document is a letter from defendants’ counsel to Judge Louis L. Stanton requesting permission to file certain papers under seal in support of defendants’ motion for summary judgment. It is not a court opinion or order and does not announce a ruling.

Materials at issue

The letter states that defendants’ summary-judgment motion referred to documents that Frontier Airlines, Inc. had designated “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential” under a stipulated protective order dated January 4, 2022. The listed materials included Exhibit 7 to the November 10, 2022 declaration of Paul Sheridan; Exhibits 1–19 and 22–26 to the November 11, 2022 declaration of Jeff E. Butler; and summaries of those materials in defendants’ memorandum of law and statement of material facts under Local Civil Rule 56.1.

Defendants said they were filing public redacted versions and unredacted versions under seal as required by the protective order. They took no position on whether the documents met the legal standard of a “most compelling reason” for sealing. The letter stated that, if Frontier wished to keep the information sealed, defendants would not oppose Frontier’s application.

Disposition

The document does not state that the court granted or denied permission to seal, and it does not resolve defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Judge Louis L. Stanton’s ruling on either issue is therefore not provided in this text.
