MINAGREX CORPORATION, d/b/a MGX Stone, STIPULATED MOTION TO SEAL DOCUMENT IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF’S OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF CERTAIN DEADLINES 14 Defendant. 15 Noted on Motion Calendar: August 11, 2021 16 17 Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 5(g), Plaintiff, Cosmos Granite (West), LLC (“Cosmos”) and 18 Defendant, Minagrex Corporation d/b/a/ MGX Stone (“Minagrex”) jointly request that the Court 19 enter an order to Seal/Redact Exhibit 8 to the Declaration of Rachel S. Black in Support of 20 Plaintiff’s Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Extension of Certain Deadlines (“Black Decl.”). 21 This exhibit, the July 16, 221 Supplemental Letter of expert Paul Pederson, contains confidential 22 information, which Minagrex marked “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” 23 pursuant to the Protective Order entered in this case. Plaintiff takes no position concerning the 24 confidentiality of Exhibit 8. 25 Defendant’s position is that the designation of Exhibit 8 should be maintained to protect the 26 legitimate private interests of Minagrex in accordance with the Stipulated Protective Order [Dkt. 27 16]. Exhibit 8 referenced contains previously nondisclosed sales and financial information. As such, STIPULATED MOTION TO SEAL - 1 Case No. 2:19-cv-01697-RSM Error! Unknown document property name.

Finally, Minagrex believes that a less restrictive alternative is not sufficient to protect 4 the confidential information referenced because redaction of the same would substantively frustrate 5 the purpose of its admission. 6 7 Dated: July 11, 2021 8 9 10 11 12 13 By: /s/ Rachel S.
