December 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 72 ORDER: terminating #61 Letter Motion to Seal. As stated in the cited Individual Practices rule, "[i]n general, the parties' consent or the fact that information is subject to a confidentiality agreement between litigants is not, by itself, a valid basis to overcome the presumption in favor of public access to judicial documents.

The foregoing submission does not present a basis upon which the Court can determine whether the sealing requests meet the relevant legal standards and aresufficiently narrowly tailored (see, e.g., Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119-20 (2d Cir. 2006). Defendant is directed to supplement this application with the requisite factual and legal justification by December 17, 2020, at 12:00 p.m. noon. The supplemental filing must also include highlightedversions of the proposed redacted documents to the extent redaction of portions of documents, rather than entire documents, is proposed, and specify the ECF docket entry subnumbers of the referenced documents.
