`
`Re: Monib Zirvi, M.D., Ph.D. v. Illumina, Inc. et al.
`
`
`Civil Action No.: 23-1997-MCA/JSA
`
`
`Your Honor Judge Allen,
`
`This letter is regarding the filing of the enclosed copy of Plaintiff’s Combined Verified Response
`
`Brief (EFC No. 107) in Opposition to Illumina (ECF No. 99) and Thermo Fisher Scientific’s (ECF No.
`104) Motion for Rule 11 Sanctions. After several attempts to review Exhibit 7 to determine if any of the
`Exhibit would fall under the spirit of the Court’s ruling regarding the sealing of certain communications
`a decision was made to seal the exhibit which has been provided to Opposing Counsels on this day.
`
`Unfortunately, the size of Exhibit 7, over 1600 pages of email correspondence, delayed the
`
`ultimate filing until early this morning after it became apparent it would be impossible to determine what
`should be sealed and what should not be sealed, given prior rulings. In an abundance of caution, we
`decided to seal the entire Exhibit 7, and address the request to seal in a subsequent filing as required.
`
`We respectfully request that the Court receive Plaintiff’s Combined Verified Response Brief
`
`(EFC No. 107) in Opposition to Illumina (ECF No. 99) and Thermo Fisher Scientific’s (ECF No. 104)
`Motion for Rule 11 Sanctions as timely filed and that the Court finds that Exhibit 7 be sealed until further
`Order of the Court. Alternatively, should the Court require further briefing on the issue, Plaintiff requests
`leave to file the same.
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiff specifically requests the Response and Exhibits be deemed accepted
`by the Court as filed and that Exhibit 7 be deemed filed under seal until further order of the Court.
`
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
