   Order

   ORDER denying 226 Letter Motion to Seal. Application DENIED. It is well-settled that "[t]he public has a common law presumptive right of access to judicial documents and likely a constitutional one as well." Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d 133, 140 (2d Cir. 2004). "The presumption of access is based on the need for federal courts... to have a measure of accountability and for the public to have confidence in the administration of justice." Stafford v. Int 9;l Bus. Machines Corp., 78 F.4th 62, 69 (2d Cir. 2023) (quoting Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119 (2d Cir. 2006)). For these reasons, courts in this Circuit do not typically seal entire 50-h transcripts when they are relied on in a motion. See, e.g., Dodson v. Bd. of Educ. of the Valley Stream Union Free Sch. Dist., 44 F. Supp. 3d 240, 242 n.5 (E.D.N.Y. 2014); Vaphides, v. Norwich City School District, No. 3:25-CV-960 (AJB) (ML), 2026 WL 2123255, at *10 (N.D.N.Y. July 23 , 2026). The Court's Individual Rules also require redactions and sealing requests to be "narrowly tailored to serve whatever purpose justifies the redaction or sealing" and "otherwise be consistent with the presumption in favor of public accessto judicial documents." Individ. R. & P. 5(c). Accordingly, with no compelling arguments to the contrary, reliance on a 50-h transcript in a sanctions motion--thus converting it into a judicial document--constitutes good cause for a public filing. If any party requests redactions of certain categories of information in the transcript, that party shall file a letter describing those categories and detailing the need for the redaction by August 14, 2026. If the Court does not receive any such letter and unless the Court orders otherwise, the Yorktown Defendants are directed to file the unredacted transcript by August 21, 2026. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 226. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke on 8/3/2026) (vfr)
