I Easy Spirit also moves to file portions of its Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment under seal. However, the publicly-filed version of Easy Spirit’s memorandum is entirely unredacted. (See ECF No. 78.) Accordingly, that portion of Easy Spirit’s motion is denied as moot. 2 As noted in Defendants’ letter submission in response to Easy Spirit’s motion to seal, some of Easy Spirit’s proposed redactions concern information that this Court previously permitted Defendants to file under seal. (See ECF No. 81, at 2; see also ECF Nos. 51, 52, 73.)
