`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`
`
`GENTEX CORPORATION and INDIGO
`TECHNOLOGIES, LLC,
`
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`THALES VISIONIX, INC.,
`
`
`Involuntary Plaintiff,
`
`
`v.
`
`
`META PLATFORMS, INC. and META
`PLATFORMS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC,
`
`
`Case No. 6:21-cv-00755-ADA
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`Defendants.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`DEFENDANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO SEAL DKT. 79
`
`Meta Platforms, Inc. and Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC (collectively, “Meta” or
`
`“Defendants”) respectfully request that the Court seal Dkt. 79 (the “Public Order”).
`
`The Public Order is a fully public version of the Court’s Order on Meta’s motion to transfer,
`
`originally filed under seal at Dkt. 76 (“Sealed Transfer Order”). Although the Sealed Transfer
`
`Order was signed on June 30, the public docket indicates that the Sealed Transfer Order was not
`
`entered until July 1, as shown in this highlighted screenshot of the public docket:
`
`This July 1 “entered” date is also confirmed by the automated ECF notice attached hereto as
`
`Exhibit 1, which states that the Sealed Transferred Order was “entered on 7/1/2022 at 7:44 AM
`
`CDT.” The Court’s Amended Standing Order Regarding Filing Documents Under Seal and
`
`Redacted Public Versions states: “The movant shall email a redacted version of the Court’s sealed
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00755-ADA Document 80 Filed 07/08/22 Page 2 of 4
`
`order for publication within seven days after the Court enters the sealed order.”1 Meta (the moving
`
`party) emailed a redacted version of the Sealed Transfer Order to the Court’s law clerk on July 8,
`
`which is within seven days after the Court entered the Sealed Transfer Order, such that the
`
`redactions were timely provided to the Court.
`
`
`
`In view of Meta’s timely compliance with the Court’s Amended Standing Order, Meta
`
`believes that the redacted version that it emailed is the version that should be made public, not the
`
`fully unredacted version that was filed by the Court at Dkt. 79. The Public Order at Dkt. 79
`
`contains information that Meta believes is confidential to it and its employees. Accordingly, to
`
`preserve the confidentiality of that information, Meta requests that the Court grant this motion to
`
`seal the Public Order at Dkt. 79.
`
`Plaintiffs Gentex Corporation and Indigo Technologies, LLC do not oppose this motion.
