These standards apply equally\nto letter submissions and formal briefs. While provisional sealing was permitted in the\nearly stages of this case to accommodate its expedited nature and to safeguard sensitive\ninformation, the parties must now strictly comply with the Court's Local Rules governing\nsealed filings. Under Local Rule 105.11 (D. Md.), any proposed sealed document must be\naccompanied by a motion to seal. The motion to seal must include: (1) proposed reasons\nsupported by specific factual representations that justify sealing, and (2) an explanation of\nwhy alternatives to sealing, such as redaction, would be inadequate. See Sky Angel U.S.,\nLLC v. Discovery Commc'ns, LLC, 28 F. Supp. 3d 465, 488 (D. Md. 2014). These\nrequirements reflect the presumption of public access to judicial records, which may be\novercome only with a compelling justification. See Stone v. Univ. of Md. Med. Sys. Corp.,\n855 F.2d 178, 180 (4th Cir. 1988). Going forward, any filing submitted under seal without\na compliant motion to seal will be stricken.
