Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and this Court’s Order (Dkt. No. 94), Plaintiff Donrick
Sanderson (“Plaintiff”) and Whoop, Inc. (“Whoop”; together with Plaintiff, the “Parties”) have

contend is sealable under controlling authority.
The Parties’ respective requests to seal are their own. The “Basis for Sealing” content below
was proposed by the party making the request for that entry.
Having considered the Joint Omnibus Sealing Motion, all associated declarations, exhibits,
and any argument of counsel:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Joint Omnibus Sealing Motion is GRANTED, as
ordered in the below tables. Accordingly:
1. 	The unredacted versions of the documents sought to be sealed shall remain under
seal; and
2. 	The public shall only have access to the versions of the documents sought to be
sealed in which the following portions have been redacted as follows:

confidential and proprietary information
regarding how often members create cycles
during their initial commitment period. Whoop
maintains this information as confidential in the
ordinary course of business, and this
