Background
Pioneer Business Services, LLC withdrew its request for a discovery conference after the discovery dispute was resolved. The conference had been scheduled for June 14, 2023.
In connection with its discovery request, Pioneer filed Exhibit 1 under seal based on the parties’ stipulated protective order. The court explained that the parties’ agreement to treat documents as confidential does not by itself establish that sealing is legally justified.
Court’s action
The court adjourned the scheduled discovery conference indefinitely. It ordered any party with an interest in keeping Exhibit 1 sealed to file a letter-brief supporting continued sealing no later than June 14, 2023. If no such letter-brief was filed, the court stated that it would unseal the document.
The Clerk of Court was directed to close the motions at Docket Entries 152, 155, and 156. The documents at Docket Entries 152-1 and 156-1 were to remain provisionally sealed.
