ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, DISTRICT JUDGE
While non-party Deven Werling claims this Court never granted leave to file with redactions, see ECF No. 41, Judge Daniels granted the defendants' application to file under seal the defendants' response to the order to show cause for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, see ECF No. 18.
In any event, the defendants, who sought to file under seal and file redacted copies on the docket, see ECF No. 12, should explain by February 12, 2024, why the redactions are justified. See DiRussa v. Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., 121 F.3d 818, 826 (2d Cir. 1997) ("The burden of demonstrating that a document submitted to a court should be sealed rests on the party seeking such action[.]"); City of Hartford v. Chase, 942 F.2d 130, 135 (2d Cir. 1991) ("[S]ealing . . . documents should not be done without a compelling reason[.]").
SO ORDERED.
