DOUBLELINE CAPITAL LP, et al., Plaintiffs, v. ODEBRECHT FINANCE, LTD., et al., Defendants.
ORDER REGARDING REDACTION
BARBARA MOSES, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
I have filed, under seal, an Opinion and Order (Dkt. 261) granting plaintiffs' motion for discovery sanctions with respect to defendants' refusal to produce documents responsive to plaintiffs' Requests for Production 1, 3, and 4, as required by this Court's Order dated October 14, 2020 (Dkt. 122).
The Opinion and Order is, at present, accessible only to the attorneys appearing for the parties and Court personnel, because it discusses, inter alia, a series of decisions issued by the 13th Federal Court of Curitiba in Brazil (the "Curitiba Court") with regard to the Leniency Agreement between defendants herein and Brazilian prosecutors, which the Curitiba Court authorized defendants to disclose to this Court and to plaintiffs herein only on a "confidential basis," as well as certain related material, all of which was itself filed under seal. (See Dkts. 129, 169, 179.)
On or before August 3, 2022, after meeting and conferring, the parties shall submit (by email) their proposed redactions to the Opinion and Order before it is publicly filed, mindful that such redactions should be minimized, wherever possible, in light of the presumption of public access to judicial documents. See Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41, 47-48 (2d Cir. 2019); Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119-20 (2d Cir. 2006).
SO ORDERED.
