SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 20 – The Fifth Avenue law
firm of Baker McKenzie won an
order for attorneys fees but
then asked that its submission
be sealed.
Specifically, in a May 1
filing Baker McKenzie's Jacob
M. Kaplan "request[ed] this
Court's permission to submit
unredacted versions of the
detailed invoices under seal
for the Court's in camera
review."
There is a
problem, of course:
transparency.
For example, Lugosch
v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga,
435 F.3d 110, on the
"presumption of public access
to the sealed documents."
On May 21
U.S. District Court for the
South District of New York
Magistrate Judge Gregory W.
Gorenstein to his credit
declined to agree to view in
camera documents, or to seal
them.
Inner City Press
will continue to follow this
case. It is KCG Holdings, Inc.
et al v. Khandekar, 17-cv-3533
(Nathan / Gorenstein).
