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.
