Re: FTC v. Sili Neutracutical et al.
Civ. No. 07C 4541
Dear Mr. Dobbins:
Plaintiff, Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), requests that the complaint and accompanying papers filed on this date be restricted pursuant to Local Rule 5.7(a). Pursuant to Local Rule 5.7(a), the FTC states:
1. The party making this request is Plaintiff FTC, by its attorney Steven M. Wernikoff, 55 West Monroe Street, Suite 1825, Chicago, Illinois 60603, redacted@ftc.gov;
2. The FTC believes that, due to special circumstances set forth in the Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion to File Papers Under Temporary Seal and Certification of Steven M. Wernikoff Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b) in Support of Ex Parte Motion For Temporary Restraining Order, filed herewith, which the FTC will promptly bring to the attention of the judge to whom the case is assigned, it is necessary to restrict access to the case at filing; and
3. The FTC is aware that, absent an order extending or setting aside the seal, the file and its contents will become public on the fourth business day following the date of filing.
Very truly yours,
Steven M. Wernikoff
Staff Attorney
