Parker United States District Court, + mir Southern District of New York HON. KATHARINE H. PARKER 500 Pearl St. UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE New York, NY 10007-1312 11/25/2020 Re: — Intrepid Financial Partners, LLC v. Antonio C. Fernandez, Case No.: 1:20-cv-09779 Dear Judge Parker: We represent plaintiff Intrepid Financial Partners, LLC in the above-referenced matter. Pursuant to your Honor’s Individual Practice Rule II.d, we respectfully submit this letter motion to request that the Court (1) seal the Complaint, ECF No. 1, and permit plaintiff to file a redacted version of the Complaint in the form attached to this letter as Exhibit A; and (2) permit plaintiff to file under seal an unredacted version of Exhibit A to Mr. Winchenbaugh’s declaration, ECF No. 7-1. The information plaintiff seeks to redact or has already filed as redacted in the referenced documents is narrowly limited to defendant’s personal financial compensation information. Mr. Fernandez’s personal financial compensation information was accidentally included in the Complaint. As such, a redaction is warranted here, where plaintiff is currently in the process of hiring a replacement for Mr. Fernandez and disclosure of his compensation would be prejudicial to plaintiff, and to protect Mr. Fernandez’s privacy interest. See Oliver Wyman, Inc. v. Eielson, 282 F. Supp. 3d 684, 706 (S.D.N.Y. 2017); see, e.g., Murray v. UBS Sec., LLC, No. 14 CIV. 927 (KPF), 2017 WL 1498051, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 25, 2017) (redacting salary information).
