Goolden v. Wardak

Summary

This document is a defendant’s letter motion in Sarah Goolden v. Hamed Wardak requesting that unredacted attorney invoices be filed and maintained under seal. The motion argues that the invoices contain confidential business information, attorney work product, and privileged communications. The court directed the defendant to file the documents with redactions to privileged information at the selected-parties viewing level so they could be accessed by the plaintiff.

Holdings
