Geiss et al v. The Weinstein Company Holdings LLC et al

Filing 406

ORDER terminating #402 Motion to Seal. In response to Plaintiff Thompson's Motion to Seal and Motion for Sanctions, ECF No. 402, I find that Weinstein's submission of February 8, 2021, ECF No. 396, is replete with scandalous matter, unnecessary to the case. The court does not need to be persuaded by such material as to the appropriateness of a deposition of Melissa Thompson. The Clerk shall strike ECF No. 402 from the docket but retain the summary docket text for the record. The Clerk shall terminate the open motion, ECF No. 402. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 2/16/21) (yv)
