The Parties jointly request that the Court order that the following documents be 
withdrawn and removed from the docket: 
1. ECF No. 633 (public redacted version of Plaintiffs’ Memorandum of Points and 
Authorities in Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment 
(“MPSJ Opposition”)) 
2. ECF No. 633-1 (public redacted version of Plaintiffs’ Response to Defendant’s 
Statement of Undisputed Material Facts In Support of Motion for Partial 
Summary Judgment (“RSUF”)) 
3. ECF No. 633-2 (public redacted version of Plaintiffs’ Additional Statement of 
Facts in Opposition to Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (“PASF”)) 
On January 9, 2026, Plaintiffs filed their Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for 
Partial Summary Judgment, including the three public redacted documents listed above, 
accompanied by a motion to file under seal certain portions of Plaintiffs’ MPSJ Opposition, 
RSUF, and PASF (ECF 630).   
On January 12, 2026, Defendant asserted that these documents required additional 
redactions and requested that they be immediately withdrawn from the public docket. 
Plaintiffs contacted the Court that same day and the dockets were temporarily blocked 
while the parties met and conferred. The Parties disagreed about the Bank’s requested 
additional redactions, but after several meet and confer exchanges, the Parties reached a 
compromise agreement regarding what additional material to provisionally redact and to 
ask the Court to seal based on Defendant’s assertions of confidentiality.  
Now, therefore, the Parties jointly request that the Court order that ECF 633, 633-1 
and 633-2 be withdrawn and removed from the docket. Good cause exists to protect 
materials Defendant believes are confidential under the Stipulated Protective Order.  
Subject to the Court’s Order, Plaintiffs will file a revised motion to seal and revised 
redacted versions of ECF 633, 633-1 and 633-2.
