Filing 29
ORDER: On July 2, 2020, this Court granted Plaintiff's motion to remand this action and stated that it would address Defendant Robert Weinstein's motion to seal by separate order. Dkt. No. 27. That same day, Defendant Robert Weinstein submitted a letter informing the Court that the class action settlement agreement had been publicly filed without any redaction in Geiss v. The Weinstein Company Holdings LLC, No. 17-cv-9554 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2020), Dkt. No. 333-5, but he still asserted that the Term Sheet should remain under seal in this action. Dkt. No. 28. Since Defendant's letter, the Honorable Alvin K. Hellerstein has denied the motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement in that action. See No. 17- cv-9554 (S.D.N.Y. July 14, 2020), Dkt. No. 353. Mindful of the fact that this Court believes that the majorityand perhaps all of the Harris Declaration and Term Sheet should be unsealed, Defendant is directed to file a letter on ECF by July 21, 2020 to inform the Court whether, in light of Judge Hellerstein's opinion, Defendant still seeks to file the Term Sheet under seal and to maintain the same redactions in the Harris Declaration. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 7/17/2020) (va)
