July 29, 2025 Application DENIED, consistent with Dkt. Nos. 241 and 242. VIA ECF The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the Hon. Loma G. Schofield motions at Dkt. Nos. 214 and 219, and to unseal Dkt. Nos. United States District Court 215 and 216. Southern District of New York □ 500 Pearl Street Dated: August 11, 2025 Lo (G. SCHOFIEL New York, NY 10007 New York, New York UNITED Starts DIsTRICT JUDGE Re: Binh Thanh Import Export Prod. & Trade Joint Stock Co. v. Amazon.com Servs. LLC, No. 1:23-cv-00292-LGS Dear Judge Schofield: We represent Gilimex in the above-referenced action. We respectfully move the Court to maintain under seal certain narrowly tailored portions of Gilimex’s and Amazon’s joint letter dated July 29, 2025 (Dkt. 215-216, the “Joint Letter’), pursuant to Your Honor’s Individual Rule I.D.3. For the same reasons set forth in Gilimex’s July 22, 2025 letter motion to seal (Dkt. 201), Gilimex respectfully submits that the material in the Joint Letter should not be made public due to the highly sensitive nature of its contents. Specifically, the unsealed filing would give insight into competitively sensitive information about Gilimex’s operations that could be exploited to the company’s detriment. Indeed, courts have recognized that the rationale for Gilimex’s request for sealing “constitutes a competing consideration often sufficient to rebut the presumption of access.” Dollar Phone Corp. v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., 2012 WL 13195012, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. May 10, 2012); see also Cantinieri v. Versick Analytics, Inc., 2024 WL 759317, at *3-4 (E.D.N_Y. Feb. 23, 2024) (granting motion to seal on similar grounds). Although the presumption of public access attaches to judicial documents, that presumption may be overcome by showing that sealing is “essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest.” Dodona I, LLC v. Goldman, Sachs & Co., 119 F. Supp. 3d 152, 155 (S.D.N-Y. 2015) (finding “that the limited redactions proposed by the Defendants and the affected third-parties . . . overcome the presumption for public disclosure for the parties and the affected third-parties”) (citation omitted). Moreover, courts favor redaction—as sought by Gilimex—over wholesale sealing as a means to balance the public’s right of access with privacy or confidentiality concerns. See, e.g., Olson v. Major League Baseball 29 F Ath 59, 93 (2d Cir. 2022) (“[C]Jonducting this balancing and exercising its discretion, a district court should consider its ability to use redactions that do not

unduly interfere with the public’s right to access judicial documents in order to address privacy concerns.”). In opposing Gilimex’s prior sealing applications (Dkt. 208), Amazon incorrectly asserted that neither Dollar Phone Corp. v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., 2012 WL 13195012, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 10, 2012) nor Cantinieri v. Verisk Analytics, Inc., 2024 WL 759317, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Feb. 23, 2024) are applicable. However, those two decisions expressly address Gilimex’s concerns should the material it submitted be unsealed. The harm that could result from public disclosure of the redacted portions of the Joint Letter outweighs any presumption of public access. Accordingly, Gilimex respectfully requests that the Court maintains the limited and narrowly tailored portions of the Joint Letter under seal. See, e.g., Cantinieri, 2024 WL 759317, at *3; Dollar Phone Corp., 2012 WL 13195012, at *1.

Respectfully,

Marc E. Kasowstz
