IN RE DIDI GLOBAL INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION

Background

The provided document is a letter from DiDi Global Inc.’s attorneys concerning DiDi’s motion to seal. The letter asks permission to file under seal DiDi’s opposition to the plaintiffs’ motion to compel responses to interrogatories and the exhibits attached to that opposition.

DiDi’s Request

DiDi states that the opposition and exhibits contain commercially sensitive and confidential information about its business and operations. It also identifies sensitive information concerning PRC regulatory and governmental matters. The listed exhibits are a third expert report, DiDi’s responses to interrogatories, a deposition transcript, and a declaration.

DiDi argues that disclosure could harm it and could implicate principles of international comity, meaning consideration for the laws and governmental interests of another country. It also says that some of the materials contain or refer to filings that have already been sealed. The letter relies on the presumption that court filings are generally open to the public, while arguing that narrowly tailored sealing can protect confidential business information and other interests.

Disposition

The provided text states DiDi’s request but does not include a clear ruling granting, denying, or otherwise resolving the motion to seal. The text also does not state a ruling on the plaintiffs’ motion to compel. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan is identified as the judge.
