In Apollo Health and Beauty Care v. Sol De Janeiro, counsel requested sealed filings and motion deadlines; no court ruling appears. Judge Daniels.
Apollo Healthcare Corp. d/b/a Apollo Health and Beauty Care, Costco Wholesale Corp., Sol de Janeiro USA Inc., and Sol de Janeiro IP, Inc.; the requests also concern public access to the parties’ financial information and the schedule for briefing litigation motions.
What happened
Apollo Health and Beauty Care v. Sol De Janeiro concerns a letter from Apollo’s counsel in an ongoing case. The letter asked the court to allow confidential financial information in certain expert reports and deposition testimony to be filed under seal.
Apollo also asked the court to confirm deadlines for summary-judgment motions, expert-evidence motions, and a motion to strike. The proposed schedule set opening briefs for April 30, 2024, response briefs for May 30, 2024, and reply briefs for June 20, 2024.
The provided material contains requests by counsel, not a court decision resolving them. The supplied case information identifies Judge George Daniels, although the letter is addressed to Judge Louis L. Stanton; the court’s ruling is therefore unclear from this material.

Nature of the Document
The provided material is a letter from counsel for Apollo Healthcare Corp., doing business as Apollo Health and Beauty Care, and Costco Wholesale Corp. It asks the court to enter an order but does not include a judicial ruling, findings, or disposition.
Requests About Sealing
Apollo asked to file under seal portions of expert reports and deposition testimony connected with its motions for summary judgment on liability and damages, motions concerning expert testimony, and motion to strike an expert report under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(c). Apollo said the material contained highly confidential and proprietary financial information belonging to Apollo and Costco.
The letter stated that Apollo’s proposed redactions were limited to specific financial information and identified in a supporting declaration. Apollo also said it had filed certain reports under seal because it did not know whether Sol de Janeiro USA Inc. and Sol de Janeiro IP, Inc. would claim that their financial information should be sealed. Apollo stated that it did not object to Sol de Janeiro’s financial information being sealed but lacked a basis to support that request.
Requested Briefing Schedule
Apollo asked the court to confirm a schedule that it said had been presented during a February 9, 2024 conference and had not been opposed by Sol de Janeiro during that conference. The requested dates were April 30, 2024, for the opening briefs; May 30, 2024, for response briefs; and June 20, 2024, for reply briefs.
What the Court Did
The supplied document does not show whether the court granted, denied, or otherwise resolved either request. The supplied metadata identifies Judge George Daniels, but the letter is addressed to Hon. Louis L. Stanton. That inconsistency, and the absence of an order, makes the deciding judge and disposition unclear from the provided material.
