JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
On January 17, 2023, Defendant filed a letter regarding proposed redactions to the

are plainly overbroad. Counsel for Defendant is directed to work with Ms. Barr to limit the
proposed redactions to personal identifying information — namely, her address, phone number,
and email address — and information directly related to her health or financial situation. These
redactions shall not include Ms. Barr’s name, the fact that she worked for Defendant, or the
arguments she made in support of her requests to the Court. Defendant shall submit to the Court
