ANALISA TORRES, District Judge: The Court has reviewed the parties’ submissions at ECF Nos. 223, 226, 234, 237, 241.

Accordingly, the parties’ requests to redact portions of the deposition transcripts of Barnaby Fletcher and Steven Brice are GRANTED because they contain confidential information regarding non-party clients and informants and are narrowly tailored to protect those interests.
