FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, CASE NO. 4:14-cv-00815-BCW

Plaintiff,
Vv.
BF LABS, INC., et al.

Defendants.

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW MOTION TO APPROVE FILTER REVIEW
PROTOCOL AND SUGGESTIONS IN SUPPORT

Plaintiff, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), hereby seeks leave to withdraw its
motion to approve Filter Review Protocol (Dkt. No. 156). The motion requested that the Court
approve the protocol for filtering out potentially privileged materials contained in electronically
stored information (“ESI”) obtained by the FTC from Defendants’ premises pursuant to the
immediate access provisions of the Temporary Restraining Order (Dkt. No. 9). With the
commencement of discovery, the FTC does not plan on reviewing the documents in its

possession and seeks to withdraw the motion on grounds that it is now moot.
