`Re: Acuitas Therapeutics Inc. v. Genevant Sciences GmbH and Arbutus Biopharma Corp.,
`Case No. 22-cv-02229-MKV
`
`
`Your Honor:
`
`Pursuant to Rule 9.B of Your Honor’s Individual Rules of Practice in Civil Cases,
`Defendant Genevant Sciences GmbH and Defendant Arbutus Biopharma Corp. (collectively
`“Defendants”), hereby jointly move to seal and/or redact confidential material in their Reply in
`Further Support of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint (“Reply”), which is
`filed concurrently under seal with highlights denoting redactions pursuant to the Court’s
`Standing Order 21-mc-00013 and Section 6 of the Court’s Electronic Case Filing Rules &
`Instructions.
`
`
` Defendants reply brief quotes from sealed portions of Exhibit A of the Declaration of
`Allison Penfield, dated November 1, 2022, which was previously filed in redacted form (Dkt.
`No. 49-1) and under seal (Dkt. No. 51-1) by the Plaintiff pursuant to their sealing and redaction
`application (Dkt. No. 47). Defendants’ proposed sealing and redactions are consistent with those
`of Plaintiff’s, and are narrowly tailored to keep any alleged highly sensitive and proprietary
`information from being disclosed to the public.
`
`Accordingly, Defendants’ respectfully request that the Court grants their application to
`
`seal.
