Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ALLIANZ GLOBAL INVESTORS GMBH, eta. > Plaintiffs, : -against- 18 Civ. 10364 (LGS) □ ORDER BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, et al., —: Defendants. : LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge: WHEREAS, on October 26, 2020, Plaintiffs requested leave to redact and file under seal an unredacted version of their Opposition to the Motion to Dismiss the Third Amended Complaint at Docket No. 551. Dkt. No. 627. It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to seal is GRANTED. The unredacted version of the Opposition at Docket No. 628 will remain sealed and only the parties and individuals identified in the attached Appendix will have access. Although “[t]he common law right of public access to judicial documents is firmly rooted in our nation’s history,” this right is not absolute, and courts “must balance competing considerations against” the presumption of access. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119-20 (2d Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Nixon v. Warner Commce’ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978) (‘[T]he decision as to access is one best left to the sound discretion of the trial court, a discretion to be exercised in light of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case.”). Filing the above-referenced document in redacted form is necessary to prevent the unauthorized dissemination of confidential business information.

The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Docket No. 627.
