12 WHEREAS, on July 2, 2024, the Court directed the Parties to meet and confer and
13 reconsider their sealing requests in light of the “compelling reasons” standard under Kamakana v.

6 WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to extend the deadline for filing the revised Joint
7 Omnibus Administrative Motion to Seal to July 19, 2024, to accommodate the Parties’, pertinent
8 third parties’, and their respective counsels’ scheduling conflicts and to provide sufficient time for
9 the Parties and pertinent third parties to review and narrowly tailor their requests for
10 sealing/redactions to meet the “compelling reasons” standard;
11 WHEREAS, no other deadlines will be altered or otherwise impacted by this extension, as
12 set forth in the Declaration of Michelle Kao filed concurrently herewith; and
