January 27, 2025 VIA ECF Hon. Arun Subramanian Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse 500 Pearl St. Courtroom 15 New York, NY 10007-1312 Re: The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion at Dkt. 68. SO ORDERED. Arun Subramanian, U.S.D.J. Dated: January 28, 2025 Wang v. Sussman et al., No. 1:24-cv-03987-AS Dear Judge Subramanian: We represent Defendants Sammy Sussman, Vox Media, LLC, and New York Media LLC (collectively, “Defendants”), in the above-referenced action. In support of Defendants’ motion for attorneys’ fees, Defendants are filing herewith their billing statements for this litigation. These billing statements necessarily include descriptions of Defendants’ counsel’s work and include privileged attorney client and attorney work product descriptions. Particularly given that Plaintiff Liang Wang still can appeal the decision dismissing this action, to protect these privileged communications from disclosure, Defendants are filing the unredacted version of those billing statements as Exhibit E ex parte for the Court’s review. The ex parte version of Exhibit E contains redactions for only those entries for which Defendants do not seek attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 5.2(e) and Your Honor’s Individual Practice Rule 11, Defendants respectfully request to concurrently file a public version of Exhibit E with the descriptions of all time entries redacted. Those redaction boxes specify that the redacted material is “PRIVILEGED AS A/C COMM. AND/OR WORK PRODUCT.” The parties are not scheduled to appear before the court. I have conferred with counsel for Plaintiff, who reserves their position. Respectfully submitted, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP /s/ Katherine M. Bolger Katherine M. Bolger cc: Counsel of Record (via ECF)
