Document and request
The provided document is a December 4, 2020 letter from counsel for Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC to Judge Louis L. Stanton. Innovatus was identified as the plaintiff in Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC v. Neuman and the defendant in a related action, MV Realty, PBC, LLC v. Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC. The letter supports Innovatus's request to file under seal unredacted versions of portions of its opposition to defendants' motion for summary judgment and related exhibits and declarations.
Basis for sealing request
The letter argues that the materials contain highly confidential information, including marketing strategy, financial analysis, business-development strategy, and information from Innovatus's financial models. It states that the court had previously ordered that certain documents could be redacted from the public file. Innovatus said the exhibits submitted with its opposition contained the same information, or substantially similar information, as the previously approved redactions.
Innovatus reported that it had filed redacted versions publicly and unredacted versions under seal for selected-party viewing. The letter asked the court to permit the unredacted versions to remain under seal to protect the information from public disclosure.
Disposition
The provided text contains the party's request and its supporting arguments, but it does not include an order or other ruling deciding the request. Accordingly, the text does not show whether Judge Louis L. Stanton granted, denied, or otherwise resolved the motion to seal.
