Re: Shih v. Petal Card, Inc., et al., 18-CV-5495 (JFK) (BCM)
Dear Judge Moses:

We represent Plaintiff Cassandra Shih in the above-referenced action. We write pursuant
to Rule 3 of Your Honor’s Individual Rules of Practice and ECF Rule 27.7(b) to respectfully
request that a letter filed yesterday evening, October 1, 2021 (ECF 221) (“Letter”) be formally
sealed and that the Court grant permission to re-file under seal portions of Plaintiff’s Letter that
incorporate information from documents designated Confidential by Defendants.
The basis for the sealing request for ECF 221 is that the Letter was mistakenly filed in
unredacted form, and contains material designated as Confidential that Defendants have requested
be redacted from the public copy of the Letter. Upon identifying this oversight, we promptly
contacted the ECF Help Desk via email, in accordance with ECF Rule 27.7(a), with an emergency
sealing request. We also promptly notified counsel for Defendants.
Plaintiff also seeks the Court’s permission to re-file under seal portions of the Letter that
contain material designated Confidential by Defendants. Pursuant to Individual Rule 3 and ECF
Rule 27.7(c), we are filing a redacted version of the Letter simultaneously with this letter motion.
We will also file under seal an unredacted copy of the letter with the proposed redactions
highlighted. Pursuant to Individual Rule 3, Defendants will follow up within three court days to
explain the basis for the proposed sealing.
We regret this inadvertent error, and thank the Court for its prompt attention to this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Demetri Blaisdell
