MOTION by Plaintiff General Motors LLC for discovery Expedited

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: In its motion to seal 3 Schedule A to the original complaint and an accompanying exhibit, plaintiff argued that good cause for sealing existed because, at that time, plaintiff intended to file a motion for a temporary restraining order, making it necessary to seal documents identifying defendants until they could be served with the anticipated temporary restraining order. Doc. No. 3 at 1. More than a month has come and gone, and plaintiff has not moved for a temporary restraining order. Rather, plaintiff has amended 11 its complaint to name one defendant. In view of these developments, plaintiff's motion to seal 3 is denied without prejudice because plaintiff does not appear to intend to move for a temporary restraining order. The Clerk is instructed to maintain the seal on all presently sealed documents in this case until and including 01/23/2025, which is plaintiff's deadline to renew its motion to seal if it wishes to do so. If plaintiff does not renew its motion to seal on or before 01/23/2025, all presently sealed documents will be unsealed on 01/24/2025. Mailed notice
