| Mar 11, 2025 | 48 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeannice W. Appenteng: The Court has reviewed the parties' supplemental motion to seal 47 . Because the parties assert the confidential information will give competitors an unfair advantage, the joint motions to seal 44 , 47 , are granted. The parties' joint status reports 39 , 43 shall remain under seal. Further, given the parties' notice regarding potential dismissal, as indicated by 3/14/2025 the parties shall file dismissal papers or a joint status report before the District Judge. All discovery deadlines are stricken. All matters relating to the referral are concluded. The referral is terminated. Mailed notice. (kl, ) (Entered: 03/11/2025) (1) |
| Mar 7, 2025 | 47 | MOTION by Plaintiffs Endo Operations Limited, Endo USA, Inc to seal document sealed document 43 , sealed document 39 Supplemental Joint Motion to Seal Presented before Magistrate Judge (Lovsin, James) (Entered: 03/07/2025) (7) |
| Mar 3, 2025 | 46 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeannice W. Appenteng: The parties' joint motion to seal 44 is entered and continued. The motion argues the parties' 2/28/2025 joint status report 43 should be sealed because it "contains information that the parties have classified as Highly Confidential under the Agreed Confidentiality Order." The Court disagrees that the status report contains information covered by the confidentiality order. Further, the parties have not articulated how the status report contains information that falls within a category recognized by this Circuit as deserving secrecy: trade secrets, information covered by a recognized privilege, and information required by statute to be maintained in confidence. Baxter Inter., Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544, 546-47 (7th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, the Court is not inclined to grant the motion and clarifies that the previous motion to seal 40 was granted in error. By 3/7/2025, the parties may: (1) move to withdraw 39 and 43 ; (2) inform this Court that 39 and 43 may be unsealed; or (3) file a supplemental motion to seal 39 and 43 articulating with specificity "the propriety of secrecy, providing reasons and legal citations." Id. at 548. The clerk of the Court is directed to maintain 39 and 43 under seal until further order of the Court. Tracking status hearing set for 3/7/2025 at 8:30 a.m., for tracking purposes only (no appearance is required; the case will not be called). Mailed notice. (kl, ) (Entered: 03/03/2025) (1) |
