The case between Ripple Labs Inc. and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to wrap up. In a new joint motion, both parties filed for an extension to file Daubert Motions until Jan. 13, 2023. The extension will also affect the filing accompanying redacted exhibits on the public docket.

Attorney James K. Filan, an XRP community member, first shared the filing. He notes that the court has already granted the motion. He also adds that the filing comes on the back of the court’s Dec. 19 sealing ruling.

The Daubert motion is a type of motion that seeks to exclude the presence of an expert’s testimony to a jury. In this case, it aims to protect third parties’ confidential and legitimate privacy interests.

The sealing ruling saw Ripple score another minor win in the case. The court granted the company’s request to redact documents submitted in connection with the Daubert Motions. In particular, Ripple was permitted to redact case documents submitted by MoneyGram and “third party A’s.”
