May 5, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 245 ORDER: Accordingly, by Tuesday, May 9, 2023, Plaintiff shall file unredacted versions of its Memorandum of Law and accompanying declarations and exhibits under seal (which shall be provisional). By Monday, May 15, 2023, Plaintiff shall publicly file a redacted version of these documents in accordance with their Motion to Seal. On Monday, May 15, 2023, Plaintiff shall also file a revised letter motion to seal that explains for each proposed redaction why the redaction is necessary. After that date, the Court will determine whether the submissions filed under seal may remain under seal. The deadline for Defendants' cross-motion and opposition is extended to July 7, 2023. The deadline for Plaintiffs' opposition and reply is extended to July 28, 2023. The deadline for Defendants' reply is extended to August 18, 2023. The Court also notes that after Plaintiffs filed the Notice of Motion, Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint.

The parties are reminded of their option pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) to consent to decision of the action, or a specific motion, by the undersigned Magistrate Judge. If all parties consent to decision of the Motions for Default/Summary Judgment by the undersigned, they shall complete the Consent to Proceed Before a Magistrate Judge on a Specific Motion Form, as further set forth in this Order. SO ORDERED. ( Brief due by 5/9/2023., Cross Motions due by 7/7/2023., Motions due by 5/15/2023., Replies due by 8/18/2023., Responses due by 7/28/2023) (Signed by Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker on 5/5/2023) (vfr)
May 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 243 ORDER granting 239 Letter Motion to Seal. Plaintiffs' letter indicates that the proposed sealed documents were submitted with the underlying letter for the Court's review, but no such documents were filed. Plaintiff shall file under sea l the proposed sealed documents so that the Court can evaluate the motion to seal. Additionally, it is unclear from Plaintiffs' letter whether they seek to file all briefing and exhibits under seal or seek to file the documents with redactions . The Court notes that a motion to seal all briefing and exhibits in their entirety will not likely be found "narrowly tailored" in accordance with Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006) and its progeny. See, e.g. , United States v. Maxwell, 2022 WL 421123, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 11, 2022) ("Wholesale sealing of the motion papers... is not narrowly tailored."); Wiav Sols. Inc. v. HTC Corp., 2021 WL 871415, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 9, 2021) (directing the m ovant to propose narrower redactions of only the sensitive information). Finally, to the extent Plaintiffs seek to file information under seal merely because the information is designated "Confidential" by agreement of the parties, this is not sufficient under Lugosch and its progeny. See, e.g., Bionpharma Inc. v. CoreRx, Inc., 2023 WL 2977998, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 6, 2023) (collecting cases). Rather, the motion must explain the specific higher values that would be preserved for each piece of information Plaintiffs seek to redact. Accordingly, the parties should discuss in good faith the need to file information regarding the DOE's policies and procedures under seal. If the parties agree in writing that particular informa tion that has been designated "Confidential" need not be filed under seal, that information can be filed without redaction and such filing will not be a breach of any Stipulation of Confidentiality. In the event these discussions lead to a more narrowly tailored motion, Plaintiffs may file a revised motion to seal by Monday, May 15, 2023. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker on 5/1/2023) (rro)
March 21, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 235 ORDER: Fact discovery in this action has closed and expert discovery was stayed pending a Motion for Summary Judgment on the issue of liability, however no such motion was filed.
