January 27, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 38 OPINON & ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION: Before the Court is the motion of Plaintiff Andres Scaminaci for a preliminary injunction, ordering Defendant Omar Jaffrey to include Scaminaci in management decisions for their shared investment funds. (As further set forth in this Order.) For the reasons set forth above, Scaminaci's motion for a preliminary injunction is DENIED. (Signed by Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil on 1/27/2021) (cf)
January 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 37 ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND MOTION TO INTERVENE denying #13 Motion to Intervene. The Court now rules that Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction is DENIED. A preliminary injunction "is an extraordinary and drastic remedy, one that should not be granted unless the movant, by a clear showing, carries the burden of persuasion." Moore v. Consol. Edison Co., 409 F.3d 506, 510 (2d Cir. 2005). The Court finds that Plaintiff has not carried his burden under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a). The Court will fully explain its reasoning in a forthcoming opinion. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion pending at docket entry 13. (Signed by Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil on 1/22/2021) (mro)
January 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 36 SEALING ORDER granting #30 Letter Motion to Seal; granting #12 Letter Motion to Seal; granting #15 Letter Motion to Seal; granting #19 Letter Motion to Seal. The Court is in receipt of letter motions from the parties and proposed intervenor seeking to redact certain filings to protect confidential business information [ECF #12, 15, 19, 30]. These requests are GRANTED. The public has a presumptive right of access to the filings in question. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 124 (2d Cir. 2006). However, courts in this circuit regularly permit redactions that are narrowly tailored to protect "sensitive and proprietary information." Awestruck Mktg. Grp., LLC v. Black Ops Prods., LLC, 2016 WL 8814349, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. June 20, 2016). The Court has carefully reviewed all of the redactions and finds that they are narrowly tailored to protect confidential business information. Thus, the Court will maintain the unredacted versions of the documents under seal. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the letter motions pending at docket entries 12, 15, 19, and 30. (Signed by Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil on 1/22/2021) (mro)
