## Marie,

Edward’s motion to unseal is rather odd, since the non-prosecution agreement was never filed under seal in the district court litigation. The reason the document is not public is because the parties entered into a confidentiality provision, not because the U.S. government filed it under seal. The purpose of the protective order was to preserve the confidentiality of the agreement, as the signatory parties envisioned.
