`PLAINTIFF NORTHSTAR SYSTEMS LLC’S
`UNOPPOSED MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Eastern District of Texas Local Rule 5(a)(7)(C), NorthStar Systems LLC
`
`(“NorthStar”) moves to file under seal its Sur-Reply Brief in Opposition to Volkswagen AG’s
`
`Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim Pursuant to Rule 12(B)(6) or, in the Alternative, to
`
`Transfer Venue Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(A) (Dkt. 11) (the “Motion”).
`
`NorthStar’s Sur-Reply discusses highly confidential business information related to the
`
`operation of a third-party to this litigation. NorthStar’s Sur-Reply also cites confidential
`
`information contained in Dkt. 32-2, which was previously filed under seal. There is currently no
`
`Protective Order entered in this matter. Accordingly, to preserve the confidentiality of that
`
`information, NorthStar respectfully requests that the Sur-Reply be filed under seal.
`
`NorthStar has conferred with Defendant Volkswagen AG (“VWAG”) in advance of the
`
`filing of this Motion, and VWAG has stated that it does not oppose NorthStar’s request to seal the
`
`Sur-Reply. Pursuant to Local Rule CV-5(a)(7)(E), a redacted version of the Sur-Reply will be
`
`filed within seven (7) days.
