"Molnar is already well aware of the identities of the individuals," (Doc. 31 at 12), 
the unredacted exhibits must be provided to Molnar's counsel. However, the 
privacy concern related to the names/identities of those involved with those 
exhibits is compelling. Thus, in the context of this litigation, those unredacted 
reports may not be released to the public or otherwise disseminated by Molnar, his 
attorney, or any other individual or entity. Any document that contains references 
to the identifying information in those unredacted exhibits must be filed under seal. 
Finally, Molnar seeks to publicly file the Limesand Documents, which 
contain personnel records of a former Commission employee. Because it is 
unclear what those records contain at this point, that request is denied. To the 
extent Molnar intends to rely on those documents in his imminent briefing, Molnar 
must separately file that portion of his argument under seal with the relevant 
exhibits included. Defendants will then be given an opportunity to supplement 
those records and/or provide the specific basis for maintaining the seal. 
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED Molnar's motion to unseal (Doc. 25) and 
Defendants' motion for a protective order (Doc. 32) are GRANTED in PART and 
DENIED in PART as follows: 
(1) The Clerk is directed to unseal the redacted exhibits filed at Docs. 18-1 and
18-2.
