Jackpocket, Inc. v. Lottomatrix NY LLC

What the Court Decided

The court denied plaintiff Jackpocket, Inc.’s request for a permanent injunction and other equitable relief. A permanent injunction is a court order requiring or prohibiting conduct on an ongoing basis. The order states that the reasons were set out in a separate opinion and order filed under seal; that separate opinion is not included in the provided text.

Sealing Procedures

The parties were directed to meet and confer about which material should be filed under seal. Any party seeking sealing had to submit, by December 14, 2022, a publicly filed letter motion identifying by page number the specific basis for sealing. The party also had to provide a copy of the opinion and order marked to show the words and sentences it wanted sealed; that marked copy could be filed under seal.

The court reminded the parties that sealing requests must account for the presumption of public access to judicial documents. It stated that a failure to file a sealing motion by the deadline would waive the right to seek sealing, unless the court later ordered otherwise. The court planned to consider any requests together with applicable case law before filing a publicly accessible version of the opinion and order.

Disposition

The court denied Jackpocket’s request for a permanent injunction and other equitable relief. The provided order does not state the basis for that denial or otherwise describe the parties’ underlying dispute.
