(Docs. ##297, 298). In particular, defendant and Mr. Schlanger seek to redact portions of plaintiff’s submissions that disclose settlement terms or proposed amened settlement terms. Plaintiff does not object to the proposed redactions. There is a presumption of public access to judicial documents, which includes memoranda of law and declarations. See Lugosch vy. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 120 (2d Cir. 2006). However, there is no presumptive right of access to settlement discussions and documents. See United States v. Glen Falls Newspapers, Inc., 160 F.3d 853, 857 (2d Cir. 1998). For the reasons set forth in defendant’s letter-motion, the request to seal is GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to place Docs. ##297 and 298 and its attachments under seal so they remain restricted to court users and plaintiff. The Clerk is further directed to terminate Doc. #296. Chambers will mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket. Dated: February 3, 2025 White Plains, NY SO ORDERED:
