V. in this action. We write to request an Order from the Court that ECF Documents 3-1; 6, 7, 18, 19, 23, and 24, be prospectively sealed to protect Respondent’s home address and telephone number from public view pursuant to Rule 6 of Your Honor’s Individual Rules and Practices im Civil Cases. ECF 3-1 is a copy of the arbitration Award Petitioners seek to have confirmed in this action, attached as Exhibit A to the Splittgerber Declaration in support of the Petition to Confirm. Subject to the Court’s permission and any further instruction, we would then refile the Declaration in Support with a redacted copy of Exhibit A to replace current docket entry ECF 3-1. The remaining documents relate to Petitioners’ request for a Summons (ECF 6), the Summons issued (ECF 7), Petitioners’ proposed Orders (ECF 18, 19, and 23), and the Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order (ECF 24). Respondent’s home address and telephone number were included in those filings for purposes of providing an address for service on Respondent. Subject to the Court’s permission, we would also refile ECF Nos. 6, 7, 18, 19, 23 and 24 as redacted copies to replace the current docket entries.

This request is made with Respondent’s consent and at his behest.

The request to seal and redact is narrowly tailored, as it is designed only to protect Respondent’s presumptively sensitive personal information. The limited redaction will not Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. | 875 Third Avenue | New York, NY 10022 | t 212.351.4500 | f 212.878.8600 | ebglaw.com Page 2 impinge on the presumption of the public’s right to access judicial documents in this case.1 Moreover, Respondent’s personal information is no longer in dispute or necessary for Your Honor’s determination of any issues in this case,2 as Respondent has now acknowledged service and his actual notice of this action, consented to electronic service of all process through his counsel in Mexico, waived any additional personal service pursuant to any international agreements that might apply, and stipulated that he does not oppose confirmation of the final arbitration Award (see ECF No. 26-2).

Consistent with Rule 6.d.iii. of Your Honor’s Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases, Petitioners are (1) publicly filing on ECF this letter motion with electronically-related copies of ECF Nos. 3-1,3 6, 7, 18, 19, 23, and 24 (Exhibits A through G to this letter motion) with the proposed redactions; and (2) filing them under seal on ECF, with the proposed redactions highlighted in the attached copies of ECF Nos. 3-1, 6, 7, 18, 19, 23, and 24 (Exhibits A through G).

Accordingly, Petitioners respectfully request that the Court approve the proposed redactions and order sealing of ECF Nos. 3-1, 6, 7, 18, 19, 23, and 24.
