January 26, 2023	Filing 186 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #182 Motion to Seal. It is hereby ORDERED that: The deadline for the completion of all fact discovery is EXTENDED to April 14, 2023. No later than February 10, 2023, defendants shall: Re-review all documents that were withheld for privilege, as identified on defendants' privilege logs (the Logs) (Dkts. 143-1, 143-2); as further set forth in this Order. The deadline for the completion of all fact discovery is EXTENDED to April 14, 2023. The parties shall promptly file a joint proposed scheduling order including revised dates for the remaining pretrial deadlines in this action. Request to Seal. Plaintiffs filed Exhibit 22 to their joint letter, dated January 18, 2023, under seal (Dkt. 183), placing a redacted version on the public docket (Dkt. 184-23), and requesting (on behalf of defendants, who designated the documents or information "confidential" when produced) that the unredacted version remain sealed. (Dkt. 182.) Defendants followed up within the prescribed period to explain that the redacted information comprised personally identifiable information (email addresses) of non-parties. (Dkt. 185.) The Court agrees that the redactions, which do not bear on the Court's determination of the parties' discovery disputes, are "essential to preserve higher values and [are] narrowly tailored to preserve that interest," Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 120 (2d Cir. 2006) (quoting In re New York Times Co., 828 F.2d 110, 116 (2d Cir. 1987)).

The Clerk of Court is respectfullydirected to close the letter-motion at Dkt. 182. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on 1/26/2023) (ks)

November 21, 2022	Filing 175 LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses from Stephen Arena dated 11/21/2022 re: Withdrawal of Request to Seal. Document filed by Rong Chen, Elastos Foundation, Feng Han..(Arena, Stephen)
November 14, 2022	Filing 174 ORDER granting #167 Letter Motion to Seal; granting #172 Letter Motion to Seal. Defendants' application is GRANTED to the extent that the documents now filed under seal at Dkts. 171-4, 171-5, 171-7, 171-8, 171-9 171-10, 171-12, 171-13, 171-14, 171-15, and 171-18, may remain under seal. The request to seal the document at Dkt. 171-16 requires further briefing. Defendants are directed file a supplemental letter-brief, no later than November 21, 2022, in compliance with Moses.Ind. Prac. 3(e) and Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, which requires the party seeking the sealing order to demonstrate that, notwithstanding the presumption of public access to judicial documents, "closure is essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest." 435 F.3d 110, at 120 (2d Cir. 2006) (quoting In re NY Times Co., 828 F.2d 110, 116 (2d Cir. 1987)). "The party seeking the sealing of judicial documents bears the burden of showing that higher values overcome the presumption of public access." Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. v. Fair, 2011 WL 6015646, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 30, 2011) (citing DiRussa v. Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., 121 F.3d 818, 826 (2d Cir. 1997)). Neither "conclusory asse1tion[s]" of hmm, nor "[b]road and general findings by the trial court" will suffice. In re NY Times Co., 828 F.2d at 116. Thus, defendants' conclusory asse1tion that Dkt. 171-16 is "confidential and privileged" is wholly inadequate. If defendants fail to file their supplemental letter-brief by November 21, 2022, Dkt. 171-16 will be unsealed. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions at Docket Nos. 167 and 172. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on 11/14/2022) (kv) Modified on 11/15/2022 (kv).

Filing 187 JOINT LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses from Javier Bleichmar and Stephen Arena dated 01/26/2023 re: Proposed Schedule of Operative Deadlines Pursuant to January 26, 2023 Order. Document filed by Mark Owen, James Wandling..(Bleichmar, Javier)

January 26, 2023

Filing 186 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #182 Motion to Seal. It is hereby ORDERED that: The deadline for the completion of all fact discovery is EXTENDED to April 14, 2023. No later than February 10, 2023, defendants shall: Re-review all documents that were withheld for privilege, as identified on defendants' privilege logs (the Logs) (Dkts. 143-1, 143-2); as further set forth in this Order. The deadline for the completion of all fact discovery is EXTENDED to April 14, 2023. The parties shall promptly file a joint proposed scheduling order including revised dates for the remaining pretrial deadlines in this action. Request to Seal. Plaintiffs filed Exhibit 22 to their joint letter, dated January 18, 2023, under seal (Dkt. 183), placing a redacted version on the public docket (Dkt. 184-23), and requesting (on behalf of defendants, who designated the documents or information "confidential" when produced) that the unredacted version remain sealed. (Dkt. 182.) Defendants followed up within the prescribed period to explain that the redacted information comprised personally identifiable information (email addresses) of non-parties. (Dkt. 185.) The Court agrees that the redactions, which do not bear on the Court's determination of the parties' discovery disputes, are "essential to preserve higher values and [are] narrowly tailored to preserve that interest," Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 120 (2d Cir. 2006) (quoting In re New York Times Co., 828 F.2d 110, 116 (2d Cir. 1987)). Consequently, the unredacted version of Exhibit 22 will remain under seal. As further set forth in this Order. All relief not expressly granted herein is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is respectfullydirected to close the letter-motion at Dkt. 182. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on 1/26/2023) (ks)

Filing 175 LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses from Stephen Arena dated 11/21/2022 re: Withdrawal of Request to Seal. Document filed by Rong Chen, Elastos Foundation, Feng Han..(Arena, Stephen)

November 14, 2022

Filing 174 ORDER granting #167 Letter Motion to Seal; granting #172 Letter Motion to Seal. Defendants' application is GRANTED to the extent that the documents now filed under seal at Dkts. 171-4, 171-5, 171-7, 171-8, 171-9 171-10, 171-12, 171-13, 171-14, 171-15, and 171-18, may remain under seal. The request to seal the document at Dkt. 171-16 requires further briefing. Defendants are directed file a supplemental letter-brief, no later than November 21, 2022, in compliance with Moses.Ind. Prac. 3(e) and Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, which requires the party seeking the sealing order to demonstrate that, notwithstanding the presumption of public access to judicial documents, "closure is essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest." 435 F.3d 110, at 120 (2d Cir. 2006) (quoting In re NY Times Co., 828 F.2d 110, 116 (2d Cir. 1987)). "The party seeking the sealing of judicial documents bears the burden of showing that higher values overcome the presumption of public access." Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. v. Fair, 2011 WL 6015646, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 30, 2011) (citing DiRussa v. Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., 121 F.3d 818, 826 (2d Cir. 1997)). Neither "conclusory asse1tion[s]" of hmm, nor "[b]road and general findings by the trial court" will suffice. In re NY Times Co., 828 F.2d at 116. Thus, defendants' conclusory asse1tion that Dkt. 171-16 is "confidential and privileged" is wholly inadequate. If defendants fail to file their supplemental letter-brief by November 21, 2022, Dkt. 171-16 will be unsealed. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions at Docket Nos. 167 and 172. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C.

Filing 147 ORDER REGARDING GENERAL PRETRIAL MANAGEMENT: The above-referenced action has been referred to Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses for general pretrial management, including scheduling, discovery, non-dispositive pretrial motions, and settlement, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(A). All pretrial motions and applications, including those related to scheduling and discovery (but excluding motions to dismiss or for judgment on the pleadings, for injunctive relief, for summary judgment, or for class certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23), must be made to Judge Moses and in compliance with this Court's Individual Practices in Civil Cases, available on the Court's website at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-barbara-moses. Parties and counsel are cautioned: Discovery applications, including letter-motions requesting discovery conferences, must be made promptly after the need for such an application arises and must comply with Local Civil Rule 37.2 and 2(b) of Judge Moses's Individual Practices. It is the Court's practice to decide discovery disputes at the Rule 37.2 conference, based on the parties' letters, unless a party requests or the Court requires more formal briefing. Absent extraordinary circumstances, discovery applications made later than 30 days prior to the close of discovery may be denied as untimely. Court conferences and hearings may be conducted by teleconference, videoconference, or in person. Teleconferences are held on the Courts AT&T line. If a teleconference is scheduled, the parties are directed to call (888) 557-8511 and enter the access code 7746387 a few minutes before the scheduled time and further set forth in this Order.

The Court takes no position on the parties' ESI Protocol but the Court will not, at this time, convert it into an order of the Court. First, the parties do not provide the Court with a reason to convert their private agreement into a Court order. Nor is the document formatted as an order--it does not say that it is an order and lacks a signature block for the Court. Second, the parties seek the freedom to modify the protocol without Court approval. To the extent that the parties wish for the Court to convert their private agreement into an order of the Court, they should not expect that the Court will permit the parties to change the Court's order without prior approval.
