Re:

Grottano, et al. v. City of New York, et al., 15-CV-9242 (RMB) (KNF)

Your Honor:
This firm is co-counsel for Plaintiffs in the above-captioned case. In accordance with
Your Honor’s Individual Rules of Practice, Sec. 4(A), I write to respectfully request that all
exhibits to Plaintiff’s forthcoming letter-motion on behalf of minor and incapacitated class
members be filed under seal, with access only to selected parties. These exhibits will consist of
class members’ Supplemental Information and Certification Forms (“SIF”), which contain their
contact information (and/or that of their parents) alongside intimate details about their invasive
searches. For parents and children who are victims of domestic violence, as in the case of at least
one minor class member’s mother, these details are all the more sensitive.
The City has advised Plaintiffs’ counsel that it has no objection to the filing of these
documents under seal. We thank the Court for its consideration of this request.

Respectfully submitted,

s/ Raya F. Saksouk
