Background
The Armistice Defendants—Armistice Capital, LLC, Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., and Steven J. Boyd—told the court that Andrew E. Roth intended to file documents containing personally identifying information. They requested permission to redact personal mobile telephone numbers from three documents and to file unredacted, highlighted copies under seal. The letter states that Roth’s counsel had no objection to the proposed redactions.
Court’s ruling
The court granted the request to file the three documents with the proposed redactions. The order also allowed the unredacted copies to be filed under seal. The opinion explains that the telephone numbers were not relevant to any claim or defense and would not help the public monitor or understand the judicial process. The redactions were therefore described as narrowly tailored to protect privacy interests while preserving public access to the case.
