`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXHIBITS D, E, AND F TO KEYME’S
`MOTION TO DISMISS FOR IMPROPER VENUE UNDER SEAL
`
`
`
`
`Defendant KeyMe, LLC1 (“KeyMe”) respectfully requests leave to file Exhibits D, E, and
`
`F to KeyMe’s Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue or, in the Alternative, to Transfer to the
`
`Southern District of New York under seal. In support of its unopposed Motion, KeyMe states as
`
`follows:
`
`1.
`
`KeyMe intends to file a Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue or, in the
`
`Alternative, to Transfer to the Southern District of New York. In doing so and in accordance with
`
`Local Rule CV-5, KeyMe believes sealing Exhibits D, E, and F is appropriate to protect highly
`
`confidential proprietary and business information regarding contractual details between KeyMe
`
`and third parties, referenced in these exhibits. See also Declaration of Greg Marsh, attached as
`
`Exhibit A to KeyMe’s Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue, ¶¶ 13-14.
`
`
`1 Plaintiff originally filed suit against “KeyMe, Inc.”; however, that entity no longer exists.
`KeyMe, LLC is the successor-in-interest to KeyMe, Inc.
