FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
COURTALERT.COM, INC.,
Plaintiff,

No. 1:20-cv-07739

v.

11/30/2020

AMERICAN LEGALNET, INC., EREZ
BUSTAN, and ROBERT LOEB,
Defendants.

The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Doc. 11. In
accordance with Rule 5.B of my Individual Rules, the
parties are directed to meet and confer with regard to the
redacted document and file a joint letter explaining the
reasons for seeking to file the document in redacted form by
December 9, 2020.

MOTION TO REMOVE AND/OR SEAL INCORRECTLY FILED DOCUMENT
Defendants American LegalNet, Inc., Erez Bustan, and Robert Loeb (“Defendants”)
respectfully move that an order be granted to remove and/or seal Document 11-4 from the docket
on the grounds that a portion of the document was incorrectly filed. Document 11-4 contains
information that Plaintiff CourtAlert.com, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) contends is confidential. While
Defendants dispute that the information is confidential and protected from disclosure, a redacted
version of the document should have been filed given the dispute between the parties.
On November 25, 2020, Defendants filed Document 11, a Motion to Dismiss, along with
several supporting documents, including Document 11-4.

Later that same day, Plaintiff’s

counsel contacted Defendants’ counsel and requested that Defendants’ counsel move to
withdraw Document 11-4 because it purportedly contained confidential information. While
Defendants disagree that the exhibit contains confidential information protected from disclosure,
Plaintiff’s position now requires that Defendants move to remove the exhibit from the docket.
The ECF Helpdesk was closed for the day when Defendants’ counsel received Plaintiff’s

ACTIVE 50699008v1

Case 1:20-cv-07739-VSB Document 19 Filed 11/30/20 Page 2 of 2

counsel’s request to remove the document, but Defendants’ counsel will contact the Helpdesk to
lock the document upon its reopening.
Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request that Document No. 11-4 be sealed and/or
permanently deleted from the docket. Immediately following this filing, Defendants will refile a
redacted version of the document.

Dated: November 25, 2020
