Newmont Mining Corporation v. AngloGold Ashanti Limited et al

Filing 137

ORDER granting 127 LETTER MOTION to Seal Document 126 Declaration in Opposition to Motion. Plaintiff seeks to file under seal certain exhibits submitted in connection with its oppositions to Defendants' motions for summary judgment. The Court grants Plaintiffs request as to AGA Exhibits 30 and 31, which appear to consist of "business information...which, if revealed, may provide valuable insights into [AGA's] current business practices that a competitor [might] seek to exploit." Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A. v. Sunny Merchandise Corp., 97 F. Supp. 3d 485,511 (S.D.N.Y. 2015) (citation omitted). Accordingly, Plaintiffs request for leave to file a redacted copy of Exhibit 30 on the docket and to file Exhibit 31 in its entirety under seal is granted. It is not clear to the Court, however, exactly which Newmont Exhibits Plaintiff seeks to file under seal. On the first page of this letter, Plaintiff lists Exhibits 83-84, 131-132, and 140-143. On the second page, Plaintiff discusses Exhibits 84-85, 132-133, and 141-144. The hard copies delivered to the Court are labeled Exhibits 83-84, 131-132, and 140-143, but the contents appear to relate to Exhibits 84-85, 132-133, and 141-144, as detailed in the Declaration of Gregory P. Szewczyk. No later than January 7, 2020, Plaintiff shall clarify which Newmont Exhibits it seeks to file under seal, and shall email the Court both a highlighted set and a clean, unredacted set of those exhibits. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Ronnie Abrams on 1/2/2020) (jca)
