(43,111 posts)First, the order allowing the Exhibit to be filed ex parte and sealed: PAPERLESS ORDER granting the Special Counsel's Motion for Leave to File Exhibit Ex Parte and Under Seal 289 . The Motion is granted insofar as it seeks leave to file the subject exhibit under seal, for the reasons stated in the Motion. The Motion is also temporarily granted as to the ex parte nature of the request, pending the Court's in camera review of the exhibit. On or before February 9, 2024, the Special Counsel shall submit the subject document to the Court under seal and ex parte. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 2/8/2024. (jf01) (Entered: 02/08/2024)
Second, the follow up order keeping the Exhibit sealed, but requiring it to be provided to the defendants: PAPERLESS ORDER redesignating ex parte sealed filing 296 as sealed filing only. Upon in camera review of the subject attachment, and mindful of the disfavored nature of ex parte proceedings, the Court reaffirms the Special Counsel's request to seal the attachment referenced in the Special Counsel's Motion for Leave 289 but finds an insufficient basis provided to deviate from the adversarial process in this instance. The Special Counsel is directed to transmit the exhibit to Defendants on or before February 10, 2024. The exhibit shall remain sealed pending further Court order.
