Letter re 513 Text Order. (Matarazzo, Hadley)
August 24, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 513 TEXT ORDER re #387 Motion to Certify Class. In connection with their motion for class certification, Plaintiffs indicate that "[e]xcluded from each Class are... the Judges to whom this case is assigned, their immediate family members, and courtroom staff...." (Dkt. 387 at 3). The Court requires clarification on the proposed scope of the phrase "immediate family members." The Court notes in this regard that 8 U.S.C. 455(b)(5)(i) provides that a judge shall disqualify herself where "a person within the third degree of relationship" to her, "or the spouse of such person... [i]s a party to the proceeding[.]" Federal courts have held that "for purposes of the recusal statute, the term 'party' includes class members." In re Cement Antitrust Litig. (MDL No. 296), 688 F.2d 1297, 1313 (9th Cir. 1982), aff'd sub nom. Arizona v. U.S. Dist. Court for Dist. of Arizona, 459 U.S. 1191 (1983). In other words, if the Court were to certify a class in this matter that included a person within the third degree of relationship to the undersigned, or the spouse of such person, recusal would be necessary. By no later than September 3, 2020, Plaintiffs shall file a letter setting forth the scope of the phrase "immediate family members" as used in connection with the proposed class definitions.

February 4, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 424 TEXT ORDER granting #415 Motion to Seal and #416 Motion to Seal. Defendants seek permission to file under seal portions of their respective oppositions to Plaintiffs' motion for class certification and their joint motion to exclude certain expert testimony. The Court has reviewed the proposed redactions and, consistent with its prior orders in this case, finds that they are necessary to protect private health and other personally identifiable information and to protect non-public, confidential information regarding cyber security. The Court further finds that the potential harm from disclosure of such information outweighs the presumption of public access. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 02/04/2020. (CDH)
February 4, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 423 TEXT ORDER granting in part and denying in part #386 Motion to Seal. Plaintiffs seek leave to seal portions of their motion for class certification. The Court previously found (Dkt. 398) that the motion to seal lacked sufficient information to warrant sealing and afforded the parties an opportunity to submit additional reasons why sealing was necessary. The Excellus Defendants subsequently sent a letter to the Court indicating that they had no objection to the public filing of Exhibits HH and PP. No other party has objected to the public filing of these documents. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' motion to seal is denied as to these exhibits, and Plaintiffs are instructed to file unredacted versions on the public docket. With respect to Exhibits E, AA, BB, CC, KK, and XX, the parties have submitted proposed redacted versions that allow non-confidential portions to be made publicly available. The Court accordingly denies the motion to seal with respect to the non-confidential portion of these documents, and instructs that the proposed redacted versions be filed on the public docket. The Court grants the motion to seal in all other respects. As set forth in the Excellus Defendants' letter to the Court, the requested sealing is necessary to protect against the disclosure of private health and other personally identifying information, to avoid creating security risks, to maintain confidentiality regarding law enforcement investigations, and to protect confidential and proprietary trade secrets and business information. The Court finds that the prospective harm from disclosure of such information outweighs the presumption of public access. Plaintiffs shall provide unredacted versions of all sealed documents to the Clerk of Court in an electronic format for filing under seal. Plaintiffs shall further file a redacted version of their memorandum of law that comports with this Text Order. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 02/04/2020. (CDH)

December 1, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 399 CONTINUATION OF EXHIBITS to #381 Memorandum in Opposition to Motion, Unredacted Exhibit E (381-6) Report of Jonathan M. Orszag dated September 13, 2019. (Matarazzo, Hadley)
November 27, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 398 TEXT ORDER re #386 Motion to Seal. Plaintiffs seek leave to seal portions of their motion for class certification (Dkt. 387). However, Plaintiffs have given no substantive reasons for their sealing requests, but instead have noted that the documents in question contain material designated confidential by either the Excellus Defendants or third party FireEye. This is insufficient to overcome the presumption of public access. Accordingly, by no later than December 16, 2019, any party who maintains that the documents in question should be sealed (including the Excellus Defendants and FireEye) must submit, in camera, a letter to the Court setting forth the substantive reasons that sealing is warranted. Plaintiffs' counsel is instructed to serve a copy of this Text Order on FireEye by email and regular mail no later than December 2, 2019, and to file proof of service of the same. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 11/27/2019. (CDH)
November 27, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 397 TEXT ORDER granting in part and denying in part #380 Motion to Seal. Plaintiffs seek leave to seal two exhibits submitted in opposition to the Excellus Defendants' motion for clarification (Dkt. 376). With respect to the expert report of Jonathan M. Orszag, the Court previously entered a Text Order (Dkt. 382) finding no clear basis to seal this document. The Excellus Defendants subsequently sent the Court an email confirming that they did not object to the public filing of Mr. Orszag's report. Accordingly, to the extent Plaintiffs seek leave to seal Mr. Orszag's expert report under seal, their request is denied. Plaintiffs shall file an unredacted version of Mr. Orszag's report by no later than December 2, 2019. The Court grants Plaintiffs' motion to seal in all other respects. Plaintiffs seek to seal personal identifying and financial information, and the Court finds that their interest in maintaining the confidentiality of this information and the potential harm to them if such information was made publicly available outweighs the presumption of public access. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 11/27/2019. (CDH)

(Attachments: #1 Exhibit A - Fero Interrogatory Responses)(Carney, David)
October 22, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 382 TEXT ORDER re #380 Motion to Seal. Plaintiffs have asked the Court for permission to file Plaintiffs' deposition transcripts and the expert report of Jonathan M. Orszag under seal. With respect to Mr. Orszag's expert report, Plaintiffs state that they have made this request because the Excellus Defendants designated Mr. Orszag's expert report confidential pursuant to the terms of the stipulated protective order, and that the substantive reasons for the confidentiality designation are solely within the knowledge of the Excellus Defendants. The Court has reviewed Mr. Orszag's expert report and finds that it is not clear from the face of the document why it should be filed under seal. If it is the Excellus Defendants' position that Mr. Orszag's expert report should not be publicly accessible, they must submit to the Court a letter setting forth the reasons supporting sealing by no later than October 25, 2019.

February 22, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 140 DECISION AND ORDER that the Excellus Defendants motion to dismiss for lack of standing [Dkt. 107] is granted with respect to the four non-misuse plaintiffs (Fero, Church, Boomershine, and Caltagarone). The claims by those plaintiffs are dismissed without prejudice. The Excellus Defendants motion to dismiss for lack of standing is in all other respects denied. The Excellus Defendants motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim [Dkt. 107] is granted in part. Specifically, the motion is granted with respect to Plaintiffs (1) claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (2) GBL 349 claims, but only to the extent that those claims rest on paragraphs 281(d) and (e) of the CMC; (3) negligent misrepresentation claim; (4) CCRA claim; and (5) NJIPPA and NCCIPA claims. The Court dismisses those claims with prejudice, with the exception of Plaintiffs' breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing claim, which may be pursued as part of Plaintiff's breach of contract claim, and Plaintiffs' negligent misrepresentation claim, which Plaintiffs may attempt to replead. The Excellus Defendants' motion to dismiss is otherwise denied. BCBSAs motion to dismiss for lack of standing [Dkt. 111] is denied. BCBSAs motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim [Dkt. 111] is granted in part. Specifically, the motion is granted with respect to Plaintiffs (1) third-party beneficiary claim; and (2) request for benefit-of-the-bargain damages, and those claims are dismissed with prejudice. The only surviving claim against BCBSA is Plaintiffs GBL 349 claim, to the extent it is not predicated on benefit-of-the-bargain damages. In the event that Plaintiffs seek to attempt to file an amended complaint curing the deficiencies with respect to their negligent misrepresentation claim, they must do so within 20 days of the entry of this Decision and Order. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 02/22/2017. Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate Plaintiffs Fero, Church, Boomshine, and Caltagarone as those Plaintiffs are dismissed without prejuduice. (LMD)-CLERK TO FOLLOW UP-
