UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SHELLEY LEVI, Plaintiff, 22-CV-9524 (LAP) -against- ORDER MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING CANCER CENTER ET AL., Defendants. LORETTA A. PRESKA, Senior United States District Judge: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s letter dated May 19, 2025 requesting that the case be sealed, (dkt. no. 47). Although the Court sympathizes with Plaintiff, the Court is unable to grant the request because her personal interest does not override the presumption of access. In re Demetriades,

(2d Cir. 2023) (holding that the plaintiff’s personal interest in avoiding “reputation harm” that she might suffer cannot meet the “weighty” standard for overriding the presumptions of open records and public access); Doe v. City of New York, No. 15 Civ. 117 (AJN),

, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 13, 2019) (“Neither the possibility of some harm to Defendant[’s] . . . reputation nor to his employment prospects is a ‘higher value’ sufficient to overcome the strong presumption in favor of access.”) (internal citation omitted). SO ORDERED. Dated: New York, New York May 27, 2025 ZG LORETTA A. PRESKA Senior United States District Judge
