Opinion

POLLOCK | COHEN Lup 60 BROAD STREET, 24TH FLOOR NEw YORK, NEW YORK 10004 (212) 337-5361 Raphael Janove Rafi@PollockCohen.com (215) 667-8607 June 30, 2022 VIA ECF Judge Paul A. Engelmayer United States District Court 40 Foley Square, Room 2201 New York, NY 10007

Re: Gill v. National Football League, et al., No. 21 Civ. 1032 Request for Sealing Dear Judge Engelmayer: The Parties respectfully request that the unredacted version of Exhibit A to the Declaration of Karl Kronenberger, be sealed, as the document contains proprietary and trade information of the National Football League, its affiliates and licensees. Plaintiff has filed a redacted version of Exhibit A as ECF No. 89-1. Rule 4(B)(1) of Your Honor’s Individual Rules and Practices permits a party to redact financial information, proprietary or trade secret information. The contract, with redactions, has been publicly filed at ECF No. 89-1. Plaintiff is filing the unredacted version under seal, concurrently with this letter. The document to be sealed has been designated “Highly Confidential.” And this Court has already ordered that similar contracts between the NFL and third-parties can be filed with redactions. See ECF No. 80. Moreover, this Court has permitted narrowly tailored redactions of filings in order to prevent the disclosure of confidential proprietary information damaging to competitive interests. See Leonard v John Hancock Life Ins. Co., No. 18-cv-4994-AKH, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 102680, at **12-13 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2021); Sellick v. Consol. Edison Co. of NY, Inc., No. 15-ev- 9082 (RJS), 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43554, at *24-25 (S.D.N_Y. Mar. 23, 2017). Disclosure of this information could be detrimental to the National Football League and provide competitors proprietary information. Accordingly, the Parties request that the Court seal the unredacted version of ECF No. 89-1.
