Background
On March 8, 2020, the plaintiffs asked for permission to file two exhibits supporting their motion to compel under seal. Filing under seal restricts public access to the filed documents.
Ruling
The court found good cause to permit the exhibits to be filed under seal. It therefore allowed the plaintiffs to file Exhibits 1 and 2 to the motion to compel under seal. The order cited a Second Circuit decision recognizing that district courts have considerable discretion when initially deciding whether documents should be sealed.
Judge
Sarah Netburn, United States Magistrate Judge, issued the order after a March 19, 2020 telephone hearing.
