Bamba v. Mayorkas, 19 Civ. 8646

Dear Judge Figueredo:

The Government’s request that the Court seal Exhibits C and I to the Declaration
of Alyssa B. O’Gallagher (ECF Nos. 79-3 and 79-9) is GRANTED. The
(LJL)Government
(VF) is directed to re-file redacted versions of the sealed documents on the
docket. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 82. SO
ORDERED.

This Office represents Defendant Alejandro Mayorkas, sued in his official capacity as the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (the “Government”), in the abovereferenced action. I write respectfully, pursuant to Rule 21.7 of the Southern District of New York
Electronic Case Filing (“ECF”) Rules & Instructions, to request that the Court order that Exhibits
C and I to the Declaration of Alyssa B. O’Gallagher, filed at ECF Nos. 79-3 and 79-9, be placed
under seal. These Exhibits were inadvertently filed without redaction of all personal identifiers
and have been temporarily sealed by the ECF Help Desk. Upon the formal sealing of these
Exhibits, the Government will refile the Declaration of Alyssa B. O’Gallagher, along with redacted
Exhibits C and I and all other exhibits to the Declaration, and will inform the Court’s Quality
Assurance Unit of the refiling.
I thank the Court for its consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
DAMIAN WILLIAMS
United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York
