15 Civ. 211 (LGS)
ORDER

LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:
WHEREAS, by letter dated February 24, 2020, (Dkt. No. 601), Defendants request certain
redactions to their Response in Opposition to Plaintiff’s Objections to Report and
Recommendations;
WHEREAS, Defendants’ proposed redactions contain confidential and proprietary
business information regarding trade secrets. It is hereby
ORDERED that Defendants’ request is GRANTED. Although “[t]he common law right
of public access to judicial documents is firmly rooted in our nation’s history,” this right is not
absolute, and courts “must balance competing considerations against” the presumption of access.
Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119–20 (2d Cir. 2006) (internal quotation
marks omitted); see also Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978) (“[T]he
decision as to access is one best left to the sound discretion of the trial court, a discretion to be
exercised in light of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case.”). The proposed
redactions are narrowly tailored to prevent unauthorized dissemination of sensitive business
information.

The parties are advised that the Court retains discretion as to whether to afford
confidential treatment to redacted information in Orders and Opinions.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close Dkt. No. 601.
Dated: April 6, 2020
