ACCENT DELIGHT INTERNATIONAL LTD. et al, Plaintiffs, v. SOTHEBY'S et al., Defendants.
ORDER
JESSE M. FURMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
Plaintiffs' counsel filed a letter under seal seeking leave for the deposition of Mr. Rybolovlev to take place in the second half of January 2022. See ECF No. 366. That request is hereby GRANTED.
That said, in light of the presumption in favor of public access to judicial documents, there is no basis to keep counsel's letter in its entirety under seal. Accordingly, attached to this Order is a redacted version of the letter. Counsel is reminded that Court approval is required to file any document under seal and that requests to file documents under seal or in redacted form must be made in accordance with the Court's Individual Rules and Practices. Moreover, if narrowly tailored redactions would protect whatever interests may justify sealing, the moving party should propose redactions and not seek to seal the document in its entirety.
SO ORDERED.
