LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:

WHEREAS, on June 4, 2020, Plaintiffs requested leave to file under seal portions of

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to Amend and the accompanying proposed Third Amended

Complaint (Dkt. 411);

WHEREAS, on June 4, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an emergency letter motion to seal the

proposed Third Amended Complaint filed in redacted form at Dkt. 410-11 due to a scrivenor’s

error (Dkt. 413). It is hereby

ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ request at Dkt. No. 413 is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is

directed to seal the document at Dkt. No. 410-1. The document shall be accessible only to the

parties and counsel identified in the attached Appendix. Plaintiffs shall re-file the proposed Third

Amended Complaint in redacted form by June 8, 2020. It is further

ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ request at Dkt. No. 411 is GRANTED. The document at Dkt.

No. 412 and its attachments shall remain sealed. The document shall be accessible only to the

parties and counsel identified in the attached Appendix. 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) C‘[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 documents in redacted form is necessary to prevent the unauthorized

dissemination of confidential business information.
