Background

Mead Johnson & Co. LLC, the defendant, submitted a letter-motion asking to file its motion to dismiss the amended complaint and its related memorandum of law in redacted form. It also asked to file unredacted versions under seal, meaning they would not be publicly available on the court docket.
