LEWIS J. LIMAN, United States District Judge: Parties are directed to appear for a telephonic conference on August 9, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Parties are directed to dial (888) 251-2909 and use access code 2123101. Because the parties have asked the Court to retain jurisdiction to enforce their agreement, the settlement is a judicial document and therefore subject to a presumption of public access under Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The parties have not identified any factors that would overcome the presumption of access. See In re Sept. 11] Litig., 723 F. Supp. 2d 526, 532-33 (S.D.N.Y. 2010) (unsealing settlement documents because “the final settlement would be subject to ‘a proceeding in open court, and the document sought to be acted upon by the judicial power ... must become a public record.’”) (quoting United States v. Glens Falls Newspapers, Inc., 160 F.3d 853, 867-57 (2d Cir. 1998)); see also Mercer Health & Benefits LLC v. DiGregorio, 2018 WL 3559165, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. July 13, 2018) (directing the parties to file their settlement agreement on the public docket with only redactions for “client lists and any other information for which the parties can make a compelling showing of the need for confidentiality”). Parties should be prepared to discuss the effect of these decisions on the Court’s authority to retain jurisdiction to enforce the agreement.
