Dear Ju::e::::'::behalf of MV Realty to respectfully request permission to file under seal
portions of MV's February 1, 2022 letter. MV's letter refers to information from documents that ~
have been designated by Innovatus "Confidential" under the Protective Order.
~~tc-v"'
Although there is a presumption in favor of public access to judicial documents, a court
may seal judicial documents if "closure is essential to preserve higher values and closure is
narrowly tailored to serve that interest." Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110,
120 (2d Cir. 2006). The Protective Order provides: "Where any Confidential or Highly
Confidential Materials, or Information derived therefrom, is included in any motion or other
proceeding in this Proceeding, the Parties and any involved non-party shall follow the
procedures outlined in Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2, the Standing Order Regarding Electronic Filing Under
Seal in Civil and Miscellaneous Cases dated December 19, 2019 , and the Individual Rules of
Practice issued by the Court, or any Standing Procedural Order subsequently issued by the
Court." On June 1, 2021 , the Court entered an Order in connection with Innovatus' request to
seal certain portions of MV's May 24, 2021 letter, which provided further guidance regarding the
standard for sealing. See Dkt. 171.
Accordingly, MV requests permission to file portions of its February 1, 2022 letter under
seal, subject to Innovatus' position as to whether they should be sealed.
Sincerely,

s/ Jason C. Raofield

Parties' letter request (Dkt. 283) to seal portions of their February 1, 2022 letter to the Court (the
