| MINUTE ORDER. On September 10, 2026, the defendants filed a 25 Sealed Motion and 26 Sealed Opposition without filing a motion for leave to file under seal or otherwise explaining why the filings require sealing. Furthermore, while the Court has authorized limited sealing in this matter, see May 26, 2026 Order, that authorization does not permit the sealing of documents in full. To the extent that the defendants believe that sealing is necessary, it is ORDERED that the defendants shall file, on or before September 23, 2026, (1) a motion to file under seal that explains the need for sealing, with reference to the Court's May 26, 2026 Order and the Hubbard factors, see United States v. Hubbard, 650 F.2d 293, 317-22 (D.C. Cir. 1980); and (2) redacted copies of the filings on the public docket. Should the defendants determine that sealing is not necessary, it is ORDERED that they shall re-file their filings on the public docket on or before September 23, 2026. So Ordered by Judge Dabney L. Friedrich on September 20, 2026. (lcdlf1) |
