Third-Party Defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMC”) submits this
Memorandum in Support of JPMC’s Motion to File Audio Recording Supporting Motion for
Summary Judgment Under Provisional Seal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26,
Local Civil Rule 5(C), this Court’s September 24, 2020 Order (Dkt. 37) (“Rule 16(b) Scheduling
Order”), and the Amended Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order (Dkt. 68)
(“Protective Order”). JPMC moves to file under provisional seal the following:
one audio recording of a call between Heather Schoeppe (Chain Bridge) and Joanna

Chain Bridge, bearing Bates number CBB00002797.

Pursuant to this Court’s May 5, 2021 order (Dkt. 111), JPMC will submit this audio
recording via CD. In accordance with Local Civil Rule 5(E), the CD will be securely sealed with
the container clearly labeled “UNDER SEAL.”
In support of this position, JPMC states the following. Paragraph 7 of the Protective
Order obligates JPMC to file “any document or thing containing or embodying Confidential . . .
Discovery Material . . . under seal[.]” Dkt. 68 ¶ 7. The audio recording contains or embodies
material that Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. has designated “Confidential Discovery Material” under
the terms of the Protective Order. JPMC takes no position on this designation. Pursuant to
Paragraph 10(a) of the Rule 16(b) Scheduling Order, “Where a party moves to file material under
seal because the opposing party has designated that material as confidential, the opposing party
must file a response to the motion and a proposed order that meet the requirements of Local Civil
Rule 5.” Dkt. 37 ¶ 10(a).
JPMC is providing public notice of this request to provisionally seal the audio recording
such that interested parties, as well as non-parties, will have an opportunity to object. Entry of
that Notice and this Memorandum onto the Court’s public docket will notify any interested
individuals of the provisional sealing request.
For the foregoing reasons, JPMC respectfully requests that the Court grants its Motion to
File Audio Recording Supporting Motion for Summary Judgment Under Provisional Seal.
