`
`Re:
`
`VB Assets, LLC v. Amazon.com, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 19-01410-MN
`
`Dear Judge Noreika:
`
`We received the Court’s Order regarding sealing of VB Assets’ motion for leave to
`amend its trial exhibit list, Amazon’s response to that motion, and the accompanying declaration
`of Melanie Gens (D.I. 254, 256, 257). Amazon is working to secure a declaration to support a
`request for modest redactions to the public versions of these filings. The declaration will likely
`be from Ms. Gens, the witness whose declaration was submitted in support of Amazon’s
`opposition, or other members of the Alexa team. Ms. Gens is located in Honolulu, Hawaii, and
`could not be reached as of the time of this letter given the 6-hour time difference. Other
`members of the Alexa team are likewise based in Seattle, Washington.
`
`Accordingly, Amazon respectfully requests an extension until 5:00 p.m. ET to submit a
`motion to seal and accompanying declaration in support of a sealing request. In light of the
`Court’s Order, any request for sealing will be narrowly tailored to cover only highly confidential
`and competitively sensitive information, largely from paragraphs 3 and 4 to Ms. Gens’
`declaration, and the portions of the brief that quote from those sections.
