15 Civ. 9300 (LGS)
ORDER

LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:
WHEREAS, on July 21, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion to seal portions of a letter (Dkt.
No. 600). On July 23, 2020, Defendants filed a letter in support (Dkt. No. 606). It is hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to seal is GRANTED. The unredacted version of the
letter will remain sealed, and only the parties and individuals identified in the attached appendix
will have access. 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.”). Filing the above-referenced document
in redacted form is necessary to prevent the unauthorized dissemination of confidential business
information.
