Background
Vinci filed a letter motion asking to seal its reply memorandum and an exhibit. The opinion states that KSNY was directed to make the showing required under Lugosh v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga to permanently seal the information by September 30, 2025.
Ruling
KSNY did not make that showing. The Clerk of Court was therefore directed to unseal the documents at ECF Nos. 234, 234-1, and 235. The order does not describe the contents of those documents or explain the relationship among Vinci, KSNY, and the parties listed in the case caption.
