ORDER DENYING AS MOOT PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR LEAVE TO FILE UNDER SEAL

Before the Court is the Motion for Leave to File Under Seal Plaintiff Hydrafacial LLC’s

Memorandum in Response to Court’s Invitation for Briefing on Limited Issue of Scope of Expert

Witness Testimony, filed August 1, 2025. (ECF No. 85.) Hydrafacial argues that the

memorandum should be sealed because it directly quotes the transcript of the July 25, 2025

hearing, which remained sealed until October 30. (Id. at PageID 4378.) Since then, the

underlying transcript has been unsealed. (ECF No. 125.)

Accordingly, the Motion is DENIED AS MOOT. Given the strong public policy

favoring open court records, see Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. FTC, 710 F.2d 1165,

1176–79 (6th Cir. 1983), Hydrafacial’s memorandum (ECF No. 86) shall be unsealed.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 24th day of March, 2026.
