`No. 5:19CV36-RWS
`
`
`
`MAXELL, LTD.
`
`
`
`V.
`
`
`
`
`
`APPLE INC.
`
`
`
`ORDER
`
`
`The Court issues the following sua sponte. Contemporaneously with this Order, the
`
`undersigned United States Magistrate Judge is entering an Order granting in part and denying in
`
`part Maxell, Ltd.’s Opposed Motion to Compel (Docket Entry # 197). Because the Court cites at
`
`length allegations from briefing which the parties have filed under seal, the Court has sealed the
`
`Order.
`
`A district court must use caution when exercising its discretion to place records under seal
`
`because there is a “strong presumption that all trial proceedings should be subject to scrutiny by
`
`the public.” United States v. Holy Land Found. for Relief & Dev., 624 F.3d 685, 690 (5th Cir.
`
`2010); see also Federal Sav. & Loan Ins. Corp. v. Blain, 808 F.2d 395, 399 (5th Cir. 1987) (“The
`
`district court’s discretion to seal the record of judicial proceedings is to be exercised charily”).
`
`Even where no party opposes sealing, the burden is on the movant to establish the presumption in
`
`favor of public records is overcome.
`
`Given this presumption, the Court will unseal the Order granting in part and denying in part
`
`Maxell, Ltd.’s Opposed Motion to Compel (Docket Entry # 197). Before doing so, however, the
`
`Court will allow the parties twenty-one days from the date of entry of this Order in which to
`
`submit a proposed publicly-available redacted version of the Order. The parties shall redact only
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 273 Filed 04/08/20 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 9902
`
`those portions of the Order with respect to which the parties have a legitimate and overriding
`
`business interest in maintaining confidentiality and shall be prepared to submit a particularized
`
`showing regarding those redactions in the event the Court finds it necessary.
`
`The parties shall advise the Court in writing if no redactions are necessary.
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
