ORDER: With respect to redactions, the Court concludes that the City's proposal more closely coincides with any meaningful confidentiality concerns under the "mediation privilege," while not unduly restricting the public's righ t to know and transparency in these judicial proceedings. At the same time, the Court finds that the Plaintiffs' proposed redactions tend to paint too broadly and that some of the authorities cited by Plaintiff are readily distinguishable. I n any event, the issue of mediation confidentiality in the circumstances presented here is not of great moment. Neither party identifies any prejudice it would face from publicly filing either redacted version of the February 5 Letter. Much of that information has already been publicly revealed in some form such as the Memorandum of Understanding between the parties, dated March 15, 2019, attached as Exhibit B to the City's February 5 letter. The Memorandum of Understanding mirrors the terms of the Settlement Agreement. And, most importantly, neither party is barred from contending that the Settlement Agreement, dated June 20, 2019, should or should not be enforced, which is really the heart of the matter. The Court will file a copy of the redacted version proposed by the City on the public docket. (As further set forth in this Order.) (Signed by Judge Richard M. Berman on 2/13/2020) (cf)
