Re:

Coventry Capital v. EEA Life Settlements Inc., No. 17-cv-07417

Dear Judge Cave:
We represent Defendant EEA Life Settlements, Inc. (“EEA Inc.”) in the above
referenced matter. EEA Inc. writes to request that the Court seal Exhibits 1, 3, and 4
submitted with EEA’s Inc.’s November 20, 2020 Letter (Dkt. No. 251), pursuant to Rule
I(G)(2) of Your Honor’s Individual Rules of Practice, standing order 19-mc-583, and
Section 6 of the Court’s ECF Rules and Instructions. EEA Inc. files with this letter
Exhibits 1 and 4 via ECF. In accordance with Rule 1(B) of Your Honor’s Emergency
Individual Rules and Practices in Light of COVID-19, EEA Inc. will file Exhibit 3 under
seal in hard copy because it is unable to submit the exhibit via ECF due to the format and
size of the excel, which makes conversion to pdf virtually impossible.
EEA Inc. also requests that the Court seal Exhibits 3-6, 8-12, 14-16, 21-22, 25
and 28-30 submitted with Coventry Capital US LLC’s November 13, 2020 Letter (Dkt.
No. 244). EEA Inc. understands that ViaSource Funding Group, LLC has indicated that it
has no objection to their documents being filed publicly (Exs. 7 and 13) and therefore
does not request sealing of those exhibits.
EEA Inc. makes this sealing request to protect confidential, commercially
sensitive, and/or trade secret material. These exhibits have been designated as
“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential/AEO” under the governing Amended Protective
Order (Dkt. No. 225), and therefore cannot be filed publicly without being in violation of
the Amended Protective Order. Thus, it requests that the Court permit the filing of these
documents under seal.
