Case Name: Doe et al v. The Trump Corporation et al
Case Number:1:18-cv-09936-LGS

2. Docket Text:
MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: [223] Response in Support of Motion, filed by Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., The Trump Corporation, Eric Trump, Donald J. Trump. ENDORSEMENT: "The parties are advised that the mere existence of a confidentiality agreement covering

3. judicial documents is insufficient to overcome the First Amendment presumption of access." Bowling v. Johnson & Johnson, No. 17 Civ. 3982, 2019 WL 1760162, at *8 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 22, 2019). Per the requirements of this Circuit, all prior orders granting motions to seal have been

4. based on particularized justifications specific to the information sought to be sealed. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 120 (2d Cir. 2006) ("[D]ocuments may be sealed if specific, on the record findings are made demonstrating that closure is essential

5. to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest.") Although some of those justifications may apply to the redactions requested here, Defendants bear the burden to justify this request. The motion to seal at Dkt. No. 210 is preliminarily DENIED,

6. but the Clerk of Court is directed to stay the unsealing pending future Court Order. If Defendants intend to file any additional letter in support of the motion to seal, they shall do so by April 7, 2020. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 4/6/2020) (va)
