Ayyad v. Sprint Spectrum
Appellants Sprint Spectrum, L.P. and Wirelessco., L.P. (collectively Sprint) asked the trial court to seal significant portions of testimonial and documentary evidence about its business finances and practices it had already presented in a consumer class action jury trial on the ground they contained confidential proprietary trade secret information. The court permitted Sprint to pursue its mid-trial motion on an expedited briefing schedule and thereafter denied the motion (with a limited exception), in part because it found Sprints evidentiary showing inadequate to support the requested orders. The court denied Sprints request for leave to supplement its evidence except as to one exhibit. Sprint argues the court abused its discretion in requiring briefing and hearing on limited notice, and in denying its motion to augment its evidence. Court affirm.
