Background
The provided text is a letter from counsel for MV Realty PBC, LLC to Judge Louis Stanton. The letter concerns MV Realty’s October 22, 2021 pre-motion conference letter, identified as Dkt. 213, in the case against Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC.
Request
MV Realty requested permission to file portions of its October 22 letter under seal. The letter stated that those portions referred to, quoted, or contained information that Innovatus had designated as “Highly Confidential” under a protective order. MV Realty also stated that the protective order required the parties to follow specified federal filing and court procedures when confidential material was included in a motion or other proceeding.
The letter recognized a presumption favoring public access to judicial documents and cited the standard that sealing must be essential to protect a higher value and narrowly tailored to that purpose. MV Realty asked that the portions be filed under seal subject to Innovatus’s position about whether sealing was appropriate.
Disposition
The provided text does not contain a ruling by Judge Stanton. It shows MV Realty’s request but does not state that the request was granted, denied, or otherwise decided. The letter also refers to a prior court order concerning sealing portions of an earlier MV Realty letter, but that prior ruling is not reproduced here.
