No. 656 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER signed by JUDGE WILLIAM L. OSTEEN, JR. on 2/25/2025; that Defendant's ...

Document ALTRIA CLIENT SERVICES LLC et al v. R.J. REYNOLDS VAPOR COMPANY, 1:20-cv-00472, No. 656 (M.D.N.C. Feb. 25, 2025)
The Fourth Circuit in In re U.S. explained that cases subsequent to Rushford have not applied a “heavily outweigh” standard, and accordingly, “to overcome the common law presumption of access, the government’s interests must merely outweigh the public’s interest.” In re U.S., 707 F.3d at 293 n.12.
For example, “[i]n the appropriate case, the interest in preserving the confidentiality of sensitive business information can override the public’s First Amendment right of access.” Natera, Inc. v. NeoGenomics Lab’ys, Inc., No. 1:23-CV-629, 2024 WL 1464744, at *2 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 4, 2024) (cleaned up) (citation omitted).
Further, Altria’s Vice President, Enterprise, Strategy, Planning and New Ventures, Brian F. Blaylock, attested in a declaration that the amendment, like the original agreement, “contains sensitive commercial and financial information.” (See Doc. 619-1 at 1, 2.)
The public does, of course, have an interest in these documents, to some extent, because the Rule 60(b) motion and subsequent arguments by the parties revolve in large part around the content of these two agreements.
Finally, as discussed above, Altria proposes redactions, from the Rule 60(b) briefing and hearing transcript, of information related to its original 2018 licensing agreement with JUUL, (Doc. 110-2).

Document ALTRIA CLIENT SERVICES LLC et al v. R.J. REYNOLDS VAPOR COMPANY, 1:20-cv-00472, No. 629 (M.D.N.C. Sep. 17, 2024)
Motion to Continue HearingGranted
This matter comes before the court upon Plaintiff Altria Client Services LLC’s (“Altria”) Consent Motion for Continuance of Oral Argument Hearing.
Because of preexisting scheduling conflicts, Plaintiff Altria with the consent of Defendant R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company (“Reynolds”) moves the court to continue the October 4, 2024 oral argument hearing on Defendant Reynold’s Motion for Relief from Judgment pursuant to Rule 60.
Plaintiff’s motion recites that counsel for Altria consulted with counsel for Reynolds; Reynolds confirmed that it does not oppose continuing the hearing as long as it can be rescheduled in October.
Reynolds opposes any continuance beyond October 31, 2024.
Having considered the motion, with the consent of Defendant and for good cause shown, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Consent Motion for Continuance of Oral Argument Hearing, (Doc. 628), is GRANTED and the Oral Argument Hearing in this matter is hereby rescheduled to October 29, 2024 at 2:00 p.m., in Greensboro Courtroom One.
