June 11, 2012 Filing 173 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger from Joshua J. Kaufman dated 6/8/2012 re: Filing of documents under seal...; ENDORSEMENT: Endorsed Order: Application denied. We made it exquisitely clear to Getty at our last conference that in its papers it must identify any segments of Morel's papers it wished sealed and justify such sealing. The only item it addressed was Exhibit AA even though it already had in hand Morel's papers. As we noted at the conference, the parties have visited on the court a plethora of papers that failed to identify with any specificity which parts of Morel's papers were the subject of dispute and we made it abundantly clear that Getty must be specific in its last set of papers. To the extent it failed to identify anything other than one exhibit, it must live with its choice. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger on 6/8/2012) (djc)
June 11, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 172 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: For the reasons stated, defendant Morel is to publicly file his motion papers in accordance with the foregoing rulings.

June 5, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 169 ORDER: The Court GRANTS the requested extension solely for the purpose of responding to these objections.

The parties should submit their brief responses to any such objections in a separate document from their reply briefs, no later than June 14, 2012.

May 3, 2012 Filing 151 ENDORSED LETTER: addressed to Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger from Barbara Hoffman dated 5/2/2012 re: Counsel for defendant writes By way of further clarification, Morel would like to refer to the specia1 relationship between AFP and Getty Images described in the Declaration of Gilles Tarot -that Getty Images has the right to relicense and sell AFP images in the US and the UK and that the financial relationship includes payment of a royalty on images sold, as the nature of the AFP/Getty Images financial arrangement on an abstract level has been raised publicly by Getty Images in the context of the Walk case, previously discussed by me. ENDORSEMENT: If the parties are unable to resolve disagreements about what material, if any, in plaintiff's motion papers should be redacted from the public filing, Getty and AFP may make an application by May 7, 2012.

May 3, 2012 Filing 150 ENDORSED LETTER: addressed to Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger from James Rosenfeld dated 5/2/2012. re: on behalf of Third Party Counterclaim Defendants Getty Images (US), Inc, ("Getty Images") and Agence France Presse ("AFP"), As we understand Ms. Hoffman's letter of today, and the partially redacted version of the AFP-Getty Images License Agreement (tile "Agreement") annexed to it, Mr. Morel now seeks leave to submit the entire Agreement with only portions of three pricing provisions redacted. This goes far beyond what she had previously indicated in communications between counsel and to the Court. and the scope of the Court's Order of April 27, and it does so on the eve of the May 3 deadline set by Your Honor. We therefore respectfully request an adjournment of that deadline until Monday. May 7, in order to submit an appropriate reply. ENDORSEMENT: Application granted. If defendants make a submission seeking sealing, Plaintiff is to respond by May 9, 2012. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger on 5/2/2012) (js)
April 30, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 149 MEMORANDUM & ORDER: Given this state of the record, Getty has plainly not met its burden to justify sealing any part of Morel's motion papers. That said, we note that Getty has undertaken its application, and we, our analysis, before having seen Morel's actual summary-judgment motion papers. To ensure against any inappropriate public release of provably sensitive information, Morel is to serve his papers but refrain from public filing of any documents pertaining to the challenged excerpts of the agreement until May 3, 2012. In the interval, and on review of those papers, if Getty concludes that they contain material that is justifiably sealed, it may apply to the court, in which case filing will be stayed until that issue is resolved.

October 27, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 96 MEMORANDUM & ORDER: By letter dated August 24, 2011, counsel for counterclaim-plaintiff Daniel Morel seeks a ruling as to whether employees of plaintiff Agence France Presse ("AFP") who are located outside this state and more than 100 miles from the courthouse may be subpoenaed by Morel for testimony at trial. AFP in turn seeks a ruling limiting Morel to taking only non-duplicative depositions under Rule 30(b)(6). The short answer to Morel's application is that Rule 45 precludes the subpoenaing of corporate employees of a party for trial if they are outside the state where the trial is held and more than 100 miles from the courthouse unless they are a corporate "officer". Although Morel refers to two individuals employed by AFP whom he wishes to call at trial, he does not seek to demonstrate that they are officers of the company, and AFP affirmatively represents that they are not, that is, that they are "mid-level management", a characterization with which Morel does not quarrel. On the current record we have no basis to rule, as Morel requests, that these individuals must be made available for trial on subpoena. If, before the trial, Morel develops evidence that they, or other possible corporate witnesses, are officers or that they are located either in New York or within 100 miles of the court, he will be free to make an appropriate application upon service of trial subpoenas. As for the application of AFP, we note that Morel has proffered no opposition to it. Accordingly, we deem the stated plans of AFP to produce witnesses to testify on topics identified in the letter of AFP's counsel as presumptively adequate under Rule 30 (b)(6).
