Global Weather Productions, LLC v. Reuters News & Media Inc., No. 24-cv-7828 (AS)

Dear Judge Subramanian:
We represent Defendants Reuters News & Media Inc. (“Reuters”) and Thomson Reuters
U.S. LLC (collectively, “Defendants”) in the above-referenced action. In the action marked as
related, No. 24-cv-507 (AS), the Court granted Defendants’ requests to file certain documents in
redacted form in connection with their summary judgment papers. No. 24-cv-507, Dkts. 67, 80
(the “Sealing Orders”). Defendants redacted, among other things, certain details of Reuters’
financial arrangements with its contractual counterparties and certain information as requested by
Plaintiff.
Today, Defendants will file a motion for an order requiring Plaintiff to post a bond in this
action. In support of their motion, Defendants will rely on certain of the same types of information
covered by the Sealing Orders, namely, confidential financial terms regarding a Reuters
contributor, a Reuters customer, and Defendants’ offer of judgment in this action, as well as
information requested by Plaintiff to be redacted. In addition, one exhibit contains irrelevant
information that has nothing to do with this action.
Therefore, in connection with their motion and any reply, Defendants respectfully request
leave to file the foregoing information in redacted form, with an unredacted copy filed under seal,
for the reasons set forth in the Sealing Orders and the requests embodied therein.1 Finally, we
request that the Court direct the parties to treat the redacted/sealed information as Confidential
under the Protective Order in the related action, No. 24-cv-507, Dkt. 26, as no protective order has
been entered in this case yet. We thank the Court for its attention to this matter.

Consistent with the related action, Defendants will file only the unredacted exhibits, declaration, and brief
under seal. Should the Court so desire, Defendants can refile all exhibits under seal, provide courtesy copies
to Chambers, or otherwise assist the Court with receipt of the filing.
