UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ----------------------------------------------------------X : MARSH AND MCLENNAN AGENCY LLC, : : Plaintiff, : : 19-CV-3837 (VSB) -against- : : ORDER ELMER RICK FERGUSON, : : Defendant. : : ----------------------------------------------------------X

VERNON S. BRODERICK, United States District Judge: On July 2, 2021, I issued an Opinion & Order resolving Plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction, Defendant’s motion to dismiss, and Defendant’s motion to compel arbitration. (See Doc. 110.) In accordance with the purported confidentiality of Plaintiff’s supporting materials, (see Doc. 107), I filed the Opinion & Order under seal, accessible only to the Court and the parties. The Opinion & Order, however, is a judicial document to which the public enjoys a presumptive right of access. See, e.g., Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 121 (2d Cir. 2006). Accordingly, it is hereby: ORDERED that no later than March 5, 2025, the parties meet and confer and submit a proposed redacted version of the Opinion & Order that may be filed on the public docket. If the parties fail to respond to this order, I will order the Opinion & Order be unsealed in its entirety. The parties are separately advised that the Court is in receipt of the pending motions at Docs. 126, 129, and 133 and a decision or decisions will issue in due course. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this order to the pro se Defendant. SO ORDERED. Dated: February 24, 2025 New York, New York .
