May 1, 2020

ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint letter seeking clarification of the review protocol. (See dkt. no. 1052.) Defendant's position accurately interprets the protocol, i.e., the Court will only review Docket Entries 143, 164, 172, 199, and 230 with respect to Does 1 and 2, meaning only Does 1 and 2 will be notified in the first instance. However, the Court acknowledges the practical difficulties with this process as explained by Plaintiff in her submission, (dkt. no. 1052 at 2), and is thus amenable to unsealing portions of documents mentioning non-parties rather than waiting to unseal the entirety of a given document until all non-parties have provided input. This will hopefully allow the materials to be unsealed on a rolling basis and at a rate somewhat coextensive with that of the review process. Moreover, as the Court noted in a previous order, this process is a "cooperative effort between the Court and the parties." (See dkt. no. 1047 at 1 n.1.) Should the current process prove unworkable or inefficient, the Court is happy to revisit the review protocol with the parties' input. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Loretta A. Preska on 5/1/2020) (va) (Entered: 05/01/2020)

ORDER AND PROTOCOL FOR UNSEALING DECIDED MOTIONS: The Court previously ruled that "only motions actually decided by Judge Sweet along with documents relevant to Judge Sweet's decisions on those motionsare properly considered judicial documents to which a presumption of public access attaches." Order, dated Dec. 16, 2019 (DE 1016). Such materials are referred to herein as the "Sealed Materials" or "Sealed Items." The Sealed Materials will be enumerated in a List of Decided Motions designated by the Court. In accordance with Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41, 49-51 (2d Cir. 2019), the Court will conduct an individualized review of each Sealed Item in the List of Decided Motions to determine (a) the weight of presumption of public access that should be afforded to the document, (b) the identification and weight of any countervailing interests supporting continued sealing/redaction, and (c) whether the countervailing interests rebut the presumption of public access. To assist in this process and afford persons identified or otherwise interested in the Sealed Materials the opportunity to participate in the Court's individualized review, the Court adopts the following protocol. (As further set forth herein this Order.) SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Loretta A. Preska on 3/31/2020) (va) (Entered: 03/31/2020)

OPINION of USCA (Certified) as to 504 Notice of Appeal filed by Alan M. Dershowitz, 920 Notice of Appeal, filed by Michael Cernovich d/b/a Cernovich Media, 955 Notice of Appeal, filed by Julie Brown, Miami Herald Media Company, 915 Notice of Interlocutory Appeal filed by Alan M. Dershowitz USCA Case Number 18-2868-cv; 16-3945-cv(L), 17-1625(con); 17-1722(con). Intervenors-Appellants Alan Dershowitz, Michael Cernovich, and the Miami Herald Company (with reporter Julie Brown) appeal from certain orders of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Robert W. Sweet, Judge) denying their respective motions to unseal filings in a defamation suit. We conclude that the District Court failed to conduct the requisite particularized review when ordering the sealing of the materials at issue. At the same time, we recognize the potential damage to privacy and reputation that may accompany public disclosure of hard-fought, sensitive litigation. We therefore clarify the legal tools that district courts should use in safeguarding the integrity of their dockets. Accordingly, we VACATE the District Court's orders entered on November 2, 2016, May 3, 2017, and August 27, 2018, ORDER the unsealing of the summary judgment record as described further herein, and REMAND the cause to the District Court for particularized review of the remaining sealed materials. Judge Pooler concurs in this opinion except insofar as it orders the immediate unsealing of the summary judgment record without a remand. Catherine O'Hagan Wolfe, Clerk USCA for the Second Circuit. Certified: 07/03/2019. (Attachments: # 1 POOLER, Circuit Judge, dissenting in part)(nd) (Entered: 07/03/2019)
