`MOTION TO SEAL JOINT STIPULATION
`
`Plaintiff Hospira, Inc. and Defendant Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC (“the parties”) by their
`
`undersigned attorneys, respectfully requests, pursuant to Local Rule 5.8 and 26.2 and Local
`
`Patent Rule 1.4, that this Court grant leave to seal the parties’ JOINT STIPULATION. In
`
`support of its motion for leave to seal, the parties state as follows:
`
`1.
`
`On March 21, 2016, this Court entered a Stipulated Protective Order that is in
`
`effect. (See D.I. 25, 16-cv-651.)
`
`2.
`
`The Stipulated Protective Order allows Confidential Information, including non-
`
`public business plans and competitively sensitive business information, to be filed under seal.
`
`(D.I. 25, 1:16-cv-00651 at ¶¶ 2(d)(i), 12-13, 16.)
`
`3.
`
`The parties’ Joint Stipulation contains non-public business plans and
`
`competitively sensitive business information which may be filed under seal, namely the date
`
`before which Fresenius Kabi agrees to not launch its generic dexmedetomidine product without
`
`an opinion.
`
`4.
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 26.2 and this Court’s standing order, Fresenius Kabi will
`
`separately deliver to the Court the parties’ Joint Stipulation for in camera review.

`

`leave to file the parties’ Joint Stipulation under seal, and to grant such further relief as is just.
