Filing 16
ORDER granting #15 Motion for Extension of Time until August 29, 2022, for defendant to file a responsive pleading.Plaintiff has filed an "assented-to" motion seeking an extension of the deadline by which defendant must file a responsive pleading. Doc. #15 at 1. The motion does not comply with the Local Rules because it was filed on the deadline it seeks to extend and does not "set forth reasons why the motion was not filed at least three business days before the deadline in question." D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(3). In the future, motions that do not comply with the Local Rules will be summarily denied.Counsel for defendant has yet to file an appearance in this matter. Although the Court grants the request to extend defendant's responsive pleading deadline, counsel for defendant must file an appearance of record forthwith, and in any event no later than August 1, 2022. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 7/27/2022. (Katz, S.)

Filing 12
ORDER granting #10 Motion to Seal Exhibits D and E to Plaintiff's Complaint. Portions of Exhibits D and E to plaintiff's Complaint divulge the parties' confidential pre-suit settlement discussions. The Court finds clear and compelling reasons to seal those portions of Exhibits D and E because "the presumption of access to settlement negotiations[]... is negligible to nonexistent." United States v. Glens Falls Newspapers, Inc., 160 F.3d 853, 858 (2d Cir. 1998). Plaintiff's counsel has now filed versions of Exhibits D and E that redact the settlement-related information. See Docs. #10 -1, #10 -2. Accordingly, the sealing is narrowly tailored to serve the purpose of sealing. See D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 5(e)(3) ("Any such order sealing a judicial document shall include particularized findings demonstrating that sealing is supported by clear and compelling reasons and is narrowly tailored to serve those reasons."). The Clerk of the Court shall seal Exhibit D (Doc. #1 -5) and Exhibit E (Doc. #1 -6) forthwith. In the future, plaintiff's counsel must exercise greater caution before filing documents on the public docket "because the proverbial bell cannot be un-rung once information has already been publicly disclosed." Vineyard Vines, LLC v. MacBeth Collection, L.L.C., No. 3:14CV01096(SALM), 2019 WL 12024583, at *4 (D. Conn. Apr. 1, 2019). It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 7/1/2022.
