Re:

Berall v. Verathon, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 1:10-cv-05777-LAP-DCF

Honorable Judge Preska:
We represent Plaintiff Jonathan Berall, M.D., M.P.H, in the above-referenced matter. Pursuant to
Your Honor’s Individual Practices, Plaintiff seeks an order permitting to file under seal the
following documents:
•

An unredacted copy of Plaintiff’s Response to Teleflex’s Motion for Summary Judgment, filed
on March 3, 2021;

•

An unredacted copy of Plaintiff’s Response to Teleflex’s Statement of Undisputed Facts and
Dr. Berall’s Statement of Additional Materials Facts filed on March 3, 2021;

•

An unredacted copy of the Declaration of Dr. Jonathan Berall, filed on March 3, 2021;

•

Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 6.1, and 6.2 to the Declaration of Christopher DeCoro, filed on
March 3, 2021.

The redacted sections of the documents listed above include confidential settlement information,
including a settlement agreement with confidentiality provisions, financial information, and
confidential communications between the parties. Courts in this district have recognized that
settlement agreements and financial information are appropriate for redaction. See, e.g., Seoul
Viosys Co., Ltd v. P3 Int’l Co., 2018 WL 4759744, 16-cv-6276, Dkt. 164, at 26-27 (S.D.N.Y. Sep.
30, 2018). The redactions also include excerpts from documents this Court has already permitted
the parties to file under seal. See Dkts. 226, 254.
Accordingly, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter an order that its Responsive
Motion, Statement and Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 6.1, and 6.2 to the Declaration of Christopher
DeCoro may be filed under seal.
