Re:

Harrington Global Opportunity Fund, Limited v. BofA Securities, Inc., et al.,
1:21-cv-00761-LGS (S.D.N.Y.)________________________________________

Dear Judge Figueredo:

We write on behalf of Plaintiff Harrington Global Opportunity Fund, Limited (“Harrington”)
in the above-captioned matter. Pursuant to the Protective Order, ECF No. 111, we write to request
approval to file under seal, and publicly file redacted, certain portions of a letter and an appended
exhibit to be filed by Harrington opposing Defendant CIBC World Markets, Inc.’s (“CIBC”) motion
for a protective order.
The letter contains the name of a third-party client that CIBC disclosed in discovery and that
may be relevant to Harrington’s spoofing allegations. The exhibit includes correspondence between
the parties in which this client is referenced by name.
The Protective Order provides that the parties “may designate as confidential for protection
under this Protective Order, in whole or in part, any document, information, or material that constitutes
or includes, in whole or in part, confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Party or
a Third Party to whom the Party reasonably and in good faith believes it owes an obligation of
confidentiality with respect to such document, information, or material.” CIBC has designated the
identity of this third party as Confidential Discovery. Thus, Harrington seeks to file under seal
references to the third party in the letter and exhibit.
Pursuant to Your Honor’s Individual Rules and Practices, Harrington is publicly filing its letter
and exhibit with proposed redactions and electronically filing under seal a copy of the unredacted
documents with the proposed redactions highlighted.

Clerk of Court is also respectfully directed to
terminate the Motions at ECF Nos. 312 and 319.
