MEMO ENDORSED

Corsini, et al., v Dentons US LLP, et al., 1:24-cv-03196 (VSB)

Dear Judge Broderick:
We represent Boies Schiller Flexner LLP (“BSF”) and write pursuant to Rule 5(B) of the
Court’s Individual Rules & Practices in Civil Cases and Rule 21.8 of the Electronic Case Filing
Rules & Instructions of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to
request that an exhibit submitted in connection with BSF’s motion to dismiss the complaint be
filed provisionally under seal.
The Complaint in this action cites and relies heavily on an arbitral award (the “ICC
Award”). BSF is including the ICC Award among the exhibits cited in support of its motion to
dismiss, which is attached as Exhibit 5 to the October 31, 2024, Declaration of Eric Brenner. The
ICC Award itself does not indicate that the document should be filed under seal. But in an
abundance of caution, BSF reached out to Plaintiffs’ counsel—who represented the Respondent
(Senelec) in the arbitration and now represent the Claimant (Liberty-CITIC Energy Cayman
Ltd.) here—to confirm whether any party to the arbitration would be seeking to maintain the ICC
Award under seal. As of the time of filing BSF’s motion to dismiss, we have not received a
response.
In order to preserve the opportunity of the parties to the arbitration to request that the ICC
Award be maintained under seal, we respectfully request that the Court accept the ICC Award
for filing under seal provisionally. To be clear, BSF takes no position on the sealing of ICC
Award.
We thank the Court for its attention to this matter.
The foregoing request is denied as moot because counsel for
Dentons US LLP, Edward J. Reich, and Jeffrey S. Geron have
already filed the same exhibit publicly. (See DE # 55-2.)
Boies Schiller is hereby directed to file the exhibit referenced
herein publicly. DE # 49 is resolved.
SO ORDERED.

/s/ Laura Taylor Swain, Chief USDJ

Respectfully,
/s/ Eric Brenner
