DECISION ON RADHA R.M. NARUMANCHI’S
RENEWED MOTION TO GIVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN
DOCUMENTS FILED UNDER SEAL AS WELL AS TO
OTHER DOCKETED DOCUMENTS
BEFORE: 	ROBERT E. GERBER
UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE
In these jointly administered chapter 11 cases of Motors Liquidation Company and its
affiliated debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”), Radha R.M. Narumanchi (“Narumanchi”)
moves for an order giving him access to certain documents filed under seal as well as to other
docketed documents (the “Motion”). The Motion will be granted if, and only if, Narumanchi
executes and complies with the relevant protective orders that I have previously put in place in
these proceedings (Docket Nos. 3399, 2434, and 2453) as a condition to obtaining access to
sealed or other confidential materials. That is an eminently reasonable requirement, as no
persuasive reason has been advanced for dispensing with it.
Nothing in this decision should be deemed to be authorization to include in any record on
appeal anything not before me or considered by me when I issued my July 5, 2009, decision on

considered by that court) in entering the order or judgment appealed from.”).
