Bookends & Beginnings LLC v. Amazon, et al.,
Case No. 21-cv-02584-GHW-VF (S.D.N.Y.)
Dear Magistrate Judge Figueredo:
Plaintiff submits this letter seeking leave to file portions of Plaintiff’s Second
Amended Complaint (“SAC”) under seal. The SAC quotes from and includes substantial
discussion of the Big Five Publisher Defendants’1 confidential agreements relating to the
sale of their print books to Defendant Amazon. Plaintiff seeks leave to seal consistent
with the Court’s prior sealing orders. See ECF Nos. 84, 120, 148. The Defendants
consented to the motion and provided the proposed redactions.
Plaintiff therefore requests leave to file portions of the SAC under seal and will
file a redacted version on ECF.
