   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3009
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil Procedure. The district court did not abuse its discretion by sealing sensitive business information contained in the complaint in this action as the potential harm in unsealing confidential and competitively sensitive information outweighed the moving party's generalized interest in access to the complaint; however, on the record before the court, there is not a sufficient explanation from the district court for this court to evaluate whether redaction was a reasonable alternative to sealing the entire complaint; as a result, the sealing order is vacated and the case remanded to permit the court to either explain why sealing of the entire pleading is warranted or to unseal a redacted version of the complaint.
