Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

Louis Idrobo, Plaintiff -against- 23 CV9999 The Microsoft Corporation, Defendant

Motion to seal 2"4 Amended Complaint under 31U.S.C. 3730(b)(2) Your Honor Judge Furman: Amended Complaint against Microsoft only is near completion (Microsoft is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Washinigton state. Plaintiff is a resident of New York City). However, Pro se Plaintiff realizes that the Amended Complaint’s whistleblower claims should be properly pleaded partly as a Federal False claims act claim (besides NYCHRL) asserting that Defendant knowingly submitted false certifications in connection with obtaining Federal funds. Therefore, Plaintiff seeks leave to file this Amended Complaint under seal temporarily for 60 days under 31U.S.C 3730(b)(2) as required and serve the Attorney General and typically submitted to the court “in camera”, (although some information was already included in the first Amended Complaint). Defendant certifies non-discrimination to the Federal Government and receives billions in contracts and grants. Plaintiff is the primary witness and, “original source”, coming forward about material false statements and actions in violation of those certifications. Second Amended Complaint will be ready to submit upon decision on Sealing and if it can be submitted by email to Prose intake or must be brought in person for, “in camera” submission as apparently required. United States tax payers stand to recoup large sums of money. Also, whistleblower Plaintiff requests leave to file the Second Amended Complaint using first initial and last name or last name only. Respectfully, Louis Idrobo
