Nature of the Filing
The provided document is a letter from counsel for Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC to Judge Louis L. Stanton. It asks for permission to file under seal portions of Innovatus's June 2, 2021 letter responding to a request for a pre-motion conference.
Arguments About Sealing
Counsel cited the standard that court documents may be sealed when sealing is essential to protect higher values and is narrowly tailored to that purpose. Counsel argued that the proposed redactions would protect references to and quotations from information designated by the MV Realty Parties as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” The letter describes that designation as covering information believed in good faith to present a substantial risk of serious financial, competitive, or other injury if disclosed, where less restrictive means would not avoid the injury.
The letter states that the information includes marketing strategy, financial analysis, and business-development strategy. It also refers to a protective order requiring the parties to follow specified procedures for filing materials under seal. Counsel said the MV Realty Parties might submit a letter supporting the sealing request.
Disposition
The provided text does not contain an order granting or denying the sealing request, and it does not show any other court ruling. Accordingly, this document is classified as not a ruling rather than as a merits or procedural decision.
