MINUTE ORDER Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on June 12, 2006. Before the Court is Defendant GeoSyntec' Motion to File an Exhibit under Seal.

No objections having been filed pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.2(D), and based upon a showing of compelling reasons, Defendant GeoSyntec' Motion to File Exhibit 10 to Motion to s Compel Discovery Regarding Damages and for Sanctions Under Seal [Filed June 2, 2006; Docket #119] is granted. The document held at Docket #118 shall be placed and held under seal unless or until a further order of this Court directs otherwise.
