March 7, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 888 ORDER: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's letter at Dkt. No. 886. The issue of the public filing of a W-9 was not raised during the conference on March 6, 2024. Instead, what was discussed was that Plaintiff need not file a new W-9 and t he previously provided W-9 from 2019 was sufficient. To the extent that the W-9 is needed as an exhibit to the settlement agreement, it is appropriate that it be filed with the executed agreement. During the conference, this Court authorized filin g portions of the settlement agreement under seal such that Plaintiff's private information would not be viewable to the public. In this Court's view, the W-9 information would also be appropriately filed under seal and therefore not visible to the public. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Jennifer E.

May 13, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 633 ORDER re: 631 Letter filed by City of New York. The defendant requested, in a letter dated May 12, 2020, Docket Entry No. 631, that it be permitted to redact "highly sensitive information" from a document, before disclosing the do cument to the plaintiff, because the defendant wishes to keep the information to be redacted confidential.

In the absence of any claim by the defendant that the protective order does not allow for the exch ange of confidential information by the parties to this action, granting the defendant's request is not warranted.

Having reviewed Plaintiff's two motions for reconsideration and the parties' briefing, the Court finds that oral argument is unnecessary to the resolution of these motio ns. The Court further concludes that Plaintiff has failed to meet the "strict" standard of a motion for reconsideration. Analytical Surveys, Inc. v. Tonga Partners, L.P., 684 F.3d 36, 52 (2d Cir. 2012), as amended (July 13, 2012). This reso lves docket items numbers 386, 394, and 402.

Nos. 259,271, and 278, the Court hereby administratively d enies these motions without prejudice. An administrative denial does not pass any judgment on the merits of a motion. Instead it serves, as here, to ensure that issues before the Court are cleanly presented, avoiding duplication and confusion. Plain tiff will have leave to refile as described in further detail below. This resolves docket items numbers 259,271, and 278, as further set forth in this Order. Within three weeks of the date of this order, Plaintiff may file a single motion addressing any issues from docket items 259,271,278, and 355 that remain in light of the Court's September 27, 2018, order and the instant order. This motion shall be no more than fifteen pages in length and shall fully comply with the requirements of Local Rule 7.1. Failure to comply with these rules or the filing of duplicative motions may result in the dismissal of those motions. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 2/13/2019) (kv)
