In one sentence

In Coach IP Holdings v. ACS Group Acquisition, Judge Figueredo ordered documents unsealed after KSNY failed to justify permanent sealing.

Who this affects

The order directly concerns the documents filed at ECF Nos. 234, 234-1, and 235, as well as Vinci and KSNY.

What happened

In Coach IP Holdings, LLC, et al. v. ACS Group Acquisition LLC, et al., Vinci asked to seal its reply memorandum and an exhibit. The court required KSNY to justify permanently sealing the information.

KSNY did not make the required showing by the stated deadline of September 30, 2025. The opinion cites a legal standard requiring justification for keeping court documents sealed.

Judge Valerie Figueredo directed the Clerk of Court to unseal the documents filed at ECF Nos. 234, 234-1, and 235.

Case
Coach IP Holdings, LLC, et al. v. ACS Group Acquisition LLC, et al. · No. 1:23-cv-10612
Judge
Lorna Schofield
Date
Oct. 20, 2025

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.
