What happened
In Veerappan Subramanian v. Lupin, Inc., Lupin asked the court to seal its opposition to the Sellers’ motion to compel and two attached exhibits.
Lupin said those documents referred to confidential settlement discussions in another action and that the redacted information had not historically been open to the public.
Judge Katharine H. Parker ordered the requested materials filed under seal. The text identifies the ruling as “SO ORDERED.”
The detailed version
- Subramanian v. Lupin Inc. · No. 1:17-cv-05040
- Ronnie Abrams
- July 16, 2020
Background
Lupin, Inc., identified as both a defendant and counterclaim plaintiff, asked the court to accept under seal its opposition to the Sellers’ July 10, 2020 motion to compel, along with Exhibits A and B.
Reason for the Request
Lupin stated that the opposition and exhibits referred to confidential information about settlement discussions in the Euticals Action. Lupin said that information had been redacted from the publicly filed version and was the type of information that had not historically been open to the press and the public. Lupin cited the Second Circuit’s “experience and logic” test for sealing judicial documents.
Ruling
The document states “SO ORDERED” and bears the name of United States Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker. The court therefore ordered the requested opposition and Exhibits A and B to be filed under seal.
