`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` CIVIL ACTION NO.: 1:16-CV-10142-DJC
`
`
`KEURIG GREEN MOUNTAIN, INC.
`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`v.
`
`
`
`
`TOUCH COFFEE & BEVERAGES, LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
`KEURIG’S ASSENTED-TO MOTION FOR AN ORDER OF
`IMPOUNDMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
`
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 7.2 and paragraph 12 of the Stipulated Protective Order in this
`
`matter (D.I. 22), Plaintiff, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”), requests an order of
`
`impoundment to file under seal its Opposition to the Motion for Preliminary Injunction filed by
`
`Defendant, Touch Coffee & Beverages, LLC (“Touch”), the Declaration of Mark Wood in
`
`Support of that Opposition and its Exhibits A-R, and Exhibits A, D, J-O, and R-AM to the
`
`Declaration of Hunter D. Keeton in Support of that Opposition. In support of this request,
`
`Keurig states as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Later today, Keurig will file a redacted version of its Opposition to Touch’s
`
`Motion for Preliminary Injunction (D.I. 7). In support of the Opposition and among other
`
`evidence, Keurig relies on documents, a deposition transcript, and deposition exhibits that Touch
`
`has designated CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY under the Stipulated
`
`Protective Order. (D.I. 22 ¶ 3.) Keurig express no opinion about whether Touch’s designations
`
`are proper. Keurig also relies on the Declaration of Mark Wood (a redacted version of which
`
`4675094.1

`
`
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-10142-DJC Document 31 Filed 04/01/16 Page 2 of 4
`
`Keurig will file later today) and its exhibits, portions of which disclose information confidential
`
`to Keurig. (D.I. 22 ¶ 2.1.) Keurig therefore seeks permission to file under seal un-redacted
`
`versions of its papers discussing and quoting these confidential materials, as well as declaration
`
`exhibits attaching those materials.
`
`2.
`
`The Stipulated Protective Order provides, in part, that any “party wishing to
`
`make of record any CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY information shall file a
`
`motion for leave to file under seal the filing containing the Confidential material,…. [The party]
`
`shall [file] such paper in a sealed envelope, or other appropriately sealed container, which
`
`includes the title of the Action, the party filing the materials, the nature of the materials filed,
`
`and the legend CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE
`
`ORDER: TO BE OPENED ONLY BY OR AS DIRECTED BY THE COURT.” (D.I. 22 ¶ 12.)
`
`3.
`
`Pursuant to paragraph 12 of the Stipulated Protective Order, Keurig hereby files
`
`this Motion seeking permission from the Court to file un-redacted versions of its Opposition to
`
`the Motion for Preliminary Injunction filed by Touch, the Declaration of Mark Wood in Support
`
`of that Opposition and its Exhibits A-R, and Exhibits A, D, J-O, and R-AM to the Declaration
`
`of Hunter D. Keeton in Support of that Opposition, in sealed envelopes marked with the title of
`
`the Action, the party filing the materials, the nature of the materials filed, and the legend
`
`“CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER: TO
`
`BE OPENED ONLY BY OR AS DIRECTED BY THE COURT.”
`
`4.
`
`The earliest date on which the impounding order should be lifted and custody
`
`arrangements for the post-impoundment period are addressed in the Stipulated Protective
`
`Order: “At the conclusion of this case, any materials filed with the Court under seal shall be
`
`kept under seal or be returned to the party filing it for disposition as provided for in ¶ 20 [of the
`
`4675094.1
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-10142-DJC Document 31 Filed 04/01/16 Page 3 of 4
`
`Stipulated Protective Order, D.I. 22].” (D.I. 22 ¶ 12.)
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`WHEREFORE, Keurig requests that this motion be granted and that Keurig be
`
`permitted to file under seal: (i) Un-Redacted Keurig’s Opposition to Touch’s Motion for
`
`Preliminary Injunction, (ii) Un-Redacted Declaration of Mark Wood in Support of Keurig’s
`
`Opposition to Touch’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction and its Exhibits A-R, and (iii)
`
`Exhibits A, D, J-O, and R-AM to the Declaration of Hunter D. Keeton in Support of Keurig’s
`
`Opposition to Touch’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
