Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting in part and denying in part [58] Defendants' Motion for Partial Reconsideration. The government requests that the court limit the ex parte materials it is required to provide to Plaintiffs' counsel to Section III of the Argument portion of the ex parte brief (Dkt. No. 34) and related portions of the ex parte declaration (Dkt. No. 35) and Supplemental In Camera, Ex Parte Statement (Dkt. No. 40.) According to the government, the other portions of the ex parte materials are not relevant to any pending motion and w[ere] instead submitted to the Court in furtherance of the Government's duty of candor. (Dkt. No. 58 at 2.) The court does not entirely agree. As previously explained, "courts generally insist -- as a matter of fundamental fairness, basic due process, and overall accuracy -- that each party be provided with access to the other party's evidence and the opportunity to contest it; in other words, secret evidence is inherently improper." (Dkt. No. 56 at 3.) The government's proposal would remove too much relevant information and disrupt the overall flow and arguments set forth in the ex parte brief, thereby undermining the fairness and accuracy concerns of the court. Moreover, as to relevancy, the government explained on page 5 of the ex parte brief, in the Background section: "In the interest of candor to the Court and because Plaintiffs' TSDS status is relevant to subject matter jurisdiction and dispositive of venue, the McQueen Declaration further explains the following jurisdictional facts with respect to Plaintiffs in this action." (Dkt. No. 34 at 7.) Thus, contrary to the government's current argument, the government previously asserted that this additional ex parte material was relevant to the pending motion, in addition to satisfying the duty of candor. On the other hand, the court does find that limited portions of the ex parte materials should be redacted, at least at this stage. In particular, the court finds that disclosure of the TSDS status of each Plaintiff -- even those with no connection to this venue -- is not necessary to fairly adjudicate the pending motion. For example, on page 1 of the ex parte brief, the court finds information in the second sentence of the second paragraph, as well as footnote 2, should be redacted at this time. Similarly, limited portions of the first full sentence on page 3, the entirety of footnote 4, part of the second sentence in the first full paragraph on page 5, the entirety of footnote 5, part of the second sentence in Section IV on page 16, and part of the first sentence in the first full paragraph on page 17 should be redacted. In addition, parallel information set forth in the ex parte declaration may be redacted as well. The government shall provide the court with proposed redactions by March 20, 2025, and the court will decide whether the redactions are satisfactory. (TRL)
