MEMO ENDORSED ORDER granting [11] Motion to Seal. ENDORSEMENT: Application GRANTED. The Court finds the documents are "judicial documents" to which a high presumption of public access attaches. Mir/is v. Greer, 952 F.3d. 51, 58 (2d Cir. 2020). "[S]ealing of the documents may be justified only with specific, on-the-record findings that sealing is necessary to preserve higher values and only if the sealing order is narrowly tailored to achieve that aim." Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 124 (2d Cir. 2006). In light of the ex parte nature of the relief properly sought by Plaintiff, the Court is satisfied that higher interests overcome the presumption of public access, so as to justify temporary sealing of the documents in question, Olson v. Major League Baseball, 29 F.4th 59, 88 (2d Cir. 2022), subject to the conditions of the temporary restraining order, ECF No. 18. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate ECF No. 11. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Dale E. Ho on 6/24/2026)
