Also on February 11, 2025, defendant filed a letter motion (Doc. #308) to seal and redact portions of its reply in further support of its motion to enforce the parties’ settlement agreement (Doc. #309).

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 Mr. Schalnger’s and defendant’s letter-motions, the requests to seal are GRANTED.
