MEMO ENDORSED

Annamarie Trombetta v. Norb Novocin, et.al.
Civil Action No. 18-cv-993
Our File No. 19701.00006

Dear Judge Swain:
As your Honor is aware, we represent Defendant WorthPoint Corporation (“WorthPoint”).
Please allow this correspondence to address Plaintiff’s “Right to File a Motion to Alter or Amend
Pursuant to F.R.C.P Rule 59 (e) and Pursuant To F.R.C.P Rule 60 Relief From a Judgment Based
Upon Errors”, which was filed as ECF 542 on March 19, 2024. With this Motion, Plaintiff has
included documents that were produced during discovery by WorthPoint and were marked
“CONFIDENTIAL”. These documents now appear in Plaintiff’s public filing as Exhibit 1:
WorthPoint’s redacted sublicensing agreement, marked “CONFIDENTIAL”, and Exhibit 2:
WorthPoint’s webpage metadata text of Plaintiff’s biography, marked “CONFIDENTIAL”.
Despite the Court’s previous warnings and instruction that Plaintiff must upload
Confidential documents to the Court’s public electronic file under seal, Plaintiff has again filed
WorthPoint’s confidential records as part of the public record. This is yet another example of
Plaintiff’s repeated and blatant disregard for the Court-issued protective order and confidentiality
designations. Magistrate Judge Cave has already retroactively sealed Plaintiff’s public filings once
before in order to protect WorthPoint’s information. See ECF 224-227.
Accordingly, we again respectfully request that the Court seal the Motion papers, together
with any further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,
WILSON, ELSER, MOSKOWITZ, EDELMAN & DICKER LLP
