Furthermore, as per Ripple’s seal appeal, the defendants discusses with the SEC, where it states no objection to filing these materials under seal.
Additionally, the defense notes how both exhibits under seal are specifically confidential by the SEC itself.
Meanwhile, the plaintiff did not show a clear stance against and for the redaction or seal of the documents.
Also, Ripple declares how the exhibits are part of
“discovery materials filed with the court in connection with discovery-related disputes,”.
Which of course, are also confidential by the SEC.
Furthermore, the defendants dialogues on the facts that they are not judicial documents. Thereby, there’s no entitlement to a presumption of public access.
“Exhibit A is a privilege log, dated September 2, 2021, and revised on September 15, 2021,…”
“submitted in this litigation and designated as Confidential by the SEC…”
“Exhibit B is a document produced in this litigation and designated as Confidential…”
“by the SEC pursuant to the Protective Order.”,
Then, Ripple writes
“Exhibits A and B are part of the discovery materials…”
“exchanged between the parties through a “compulsory process to facilitate orderly…”
“preparation for trial, not to educate or titillate the public.”,
Also, the defense adds.
