Civil Action No. 24-cv-1363-MMG-JW
-against-
JOINT PRE-HEARING
THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, ESPN, STIPULATION RE:
INC., ESPN ENTERPRISES, INC., HULU, CONFIDENTIALITY PROCEDURES
LLC, FOX CORPORATION, and WARNER
BROS. DISCOVERY, INC.,
Defendants.
WHEREAS, to enable the efficient presentation of highly sensitive business information
during the Preliminary Injunction Hearing (PI Hearing) in this matter, the Parties hereby stipulate
and agree, through their undersigned counsel, to the following procedures for the submission and
protection of such information:
1. The Parties have met and conferred pursuant to this Court’s Individual Rule
I.D(3)G) to develop procedures for the use and protection of highly sensitive business
information at the PI Hearing. Consistent with this Court’s Individual Rule I.D(2) and Second
Circuit precedent, the Parties have narrowly tailored these procedures to balance the public’s
right to access judicial documents with the Parties’ interest in preventing harmful disclosure of
highly sensitive business information. See Newsday LLC v. County of Nassau, 730 F.3d 156,
165 (2d Cir. 2013).
2. Subject to approval of the Court, the Parties agree to the following procedures to
govern the use of information that a Party believes merits confidential treatment at the hearing:
a. Any Party that seeks Confidential Treatment (as defined below) of any
hearing exhibit, deposition, proposed testimony, or other evidence shall
identify to the other Parties the specific materials (or portions of materials)
that it believes merit Confidential Treatment.
b. The Parties shall meet and confer about these materials to determine
whether the Parties agree that the materials merit Confidential Treatment.
c. If the Parties do not agree that the identified materials merit Confidential
Treatment, the Party seeking such Confidential Treatment shall identify
such materials to the Court prior to their use at the hearing and shall seek
the Court’s approval to treat these materials as confidential.
3. If the Parties agree or the Court orders that the identified materials merit
Confidential Treatment, then the Parties and the Court shall afford Confidential Treatment to
those materials as follows:
a. Confidential materials shall be displayed only on the monitors for the
Court, witness, counsel and hot seat operator so long as the monitors are
not visible to members of the public (the “Nonpublic Screens”).
Confidential materials shall not be displayed on any public monitors.
b. Counsel shall avoid reading into the record Confidential material or
questioning the witness in such a way as to elicit Confidential material.
c. Nothing in this stipulation prevents a Party from using other non-
Confidential portions of material even if another portion of the same
material is Confidential.
d. Nothing in this stipulation prevents a Party from using its own
Confidential material by sharing it only on the Nonpublic Screens.
4. Nothing in this Stipulation will affect any Party’s ability to request that the Court
close the courtroom or request any other form of confidential treatment of materials used at the
hearing.
5. Without prejudice to the Parties requesting additional documents or portions
thereof receive Confidential Treatment, at this time, Defendants and Fubo have agreed pursuant
to Paragraph 2 above that (1) the pricing terms of the parties’ carriage agreements with each
2
other and third parties, (2) Defendants’ financial analysis and strategic plans unrelated to the joint
venture and (3) Plaintiffs’ financial and subscriber projections unrelated to the joint venture.
merit Confidential Treatment. Separately, at this time, Disney and Fubo have agreed pursuant to
Paragraph 2 above that sensitive portions of certain Disney emails regarding negotiations with
sports leagues merit Confidential Treatment. To the extent that Defendants and Fubo reach
agreement that certain additional information and documents merit Confidential Treatment
pursuant to Paragraph 2 above, they will inform the Court prior to the use of such materials. In
addition, with respect to any materials on which the Parties reach agreement, they agree to make a
good faith effort to avoid publicly disclosing the same materials as they appear in other
documents.
6. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in this Stipulation govern the use of
Party material at the PI Hearing only. The use of Non-Party material at the PI Hearing will be
governed by the procedure set forth in Paragraph 22 of the Amended Protective Order.
