Attorneys for Defendant Wynn Las Vegas, LLC
Plaintiff Christina T. (“Plaintiff“) and Defendants Bellagio LLC; Desert Palace LLC; Nevada Property 1 LLC; Mandalay Bay Resort Group LLC; MGM Grand Hotel LLC; MGM Grand Propco LLC; Venetian Las Vegas Gaming, LLC; and Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (collectively
- On November 17, 2025, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Amend [53] Amended Complaint and attached as Exhibit 1 a [Proposed] Second Amended Complaint. (ECF No. 82.)
- Exhibit 1 is currently the subject of a pending Motion to Enforce Protective Order and for Sanctions (the “Motion to Enforce“) in a separate proceeding, currently pending before the Court as A.H. v. Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, Case No. 24-cv-01041-GMN-NJK (the “AH Litigation“). The Motion to Enforce challenges the alleged use and disclosure of materials designated as Confidential and Highly Confidential under the Protective Order entered in the AH Litigation (the “AH Litigation PO“).
- On November 20, 2025, the Parties jointly requested that the Court temporarily seal Exhibit 1, the [Proposed] Second Amended Complaint, to allow the Parties to meet and confer regarding a potential resolution of Defendants’ contentions regarding the confidentiality of the allegations. The Parties explained that good cause and compelling reasons supported sealing to remove Exhibit 1 from public access while the Parties addressed the dispute, because failure to seal would risk further dissemination of information subject to the AH Litigation PO and eliminate the Parties’ ability to remediate the issue.
- On November 24, 2025, the Court granted the Parties’ first Stipulation, sealing Exhibit 1 for sixty days, until January 20, 2026. (ECF No. 85.)
- On January 14, 2026, the Parties filed a second stipulation requesting continued sealing of Exhibit 1. (ECF No. 97.) On January 15, 2026, the Court granted that stipulation and ordered that the materials filed at ECF No. 82-1 remain provisionally sealed until March 16, 2026. The Court further found good cause to grant the related motions to seal (ECF Nos. 89, 95) on the same provisional basis, ordering that the materials filed at ECF Nos. 90 and 94 also remain provisionally sealed until March 16, 2026. The Court further ordered that, on or before March 16, 2026, the Parties file a joint status report regarding the sealing motions in the AH Litigation and
informing the Court whether the Parties intend to move to seal the information contained in ECF Nos. 82-1, 90, and 94. - On March 9, 2026, the AH Court issued three notices and orders addressing several pending motions in the AH litigation: (1) a Notice on the MGM Defendants’ Motion to Enforce, scheduling an in-person hearing for April 7, 2026; (2) an Order granting a motion to intervene and motion to proceed using pseudonyms, and denying a motion to modify the AH Litigation PO; and (3) an Order on a motion to seal, granting in part, denying in part, and deferring in part the sealing of certain exhibits filed in the AH Litigation.
- The Motion to Enforce remains pending and is currently scheduled for hearing on April 7, 2026. Additionally, the motion to seal in the AH Litigation remains pending in part, as the AH Court deferred ruling on the sealing of certain exhibits.
- Consistent with Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178–79 (9th Cir. 2006), the continued pendency of the Motion to Enforce and the deferred portions of the motion to seal constitute compelling reasons to maintain the provisionally sealed materials under seal. Premature public disclosure would risk further dissemination of putatively protected information, undermine the AH Court‘s ability to adjudicate the pending motions, and potentially render any relief ineffectual. The Parties’ request is narrowly tailored to preserve the status quo until the AH Court rules on the pending motions.
- Because the Motion to Enforce is scheduled for hearing before the AH Court, and the motion to seal remains pending in part, the Parties stipulate that the materials listed at ECF Nos. 82-1, 90, and 94 should remain sealed for an additional sixty (60) days from the date of entry of this Stipulation. The Parties further agree to file a status update with the Court on or before the expiration of the sixty-day period regarding the continued need, if any, for sealing. The stipulated extension of sealing is without prejudice any Party‘s rights and positions in either this action or the AH Litigation.
- The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court enter an order continuing the sealing of ECF Nos. 82-1, 90, and 94, consistent with this Stipulation.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
