KRUZHKOV RUSSO 350 Fifth Avenue Suite 7230New Yo rk NY 10118 PLL C 212 363 2000 kru zhkovrusso.com November 21, 2019 VIA ECF Hon. Justice Borrok Supreme Court of the State of New York Commercial Division 60 Centre Street, Courtroom 238 New York, NY 10007 Re: Stella Stolper v. Zarina Burbacki Index no. 652352/2018 Dear Justice Borrok: We represent Plaintiff Stella Stolper in the above-referenced action. This letter is written jointly on behalf of counsel for all parties to the action. As the Court is aware, Plaintiff currently has an Order to Show Cause pending before the Court with a return date of December 6, 2019 (“OSC”). Defendant’s counsel has informed us that he intends to file papers opposing the OSC by the stated deadline of November 22, 2019. Counsel has informed us that Defendant’s opposition to the OSC is at least partially based on the contents of a settlement agreement between Plaintiff and non-party, Mariah Carey (“MC”), that was produced and designated as containing “Attorney’s Eyes Only” information, in accordance with the Stipulation and Order for the Production and Exchange of Confidential Information signed by the parties on August 14, 2019. Plaintiff is of the opinion that due to the highly sensitive nature of the settlement agreement and MC’s standing as a celebrity, the settlement agreement and any discussion of it should be filed under seal. Defendant’s counsel has agreed that he will not oppose an application by Plaintiff to seal such Attorney’s Eyes Only information. In order to save time and reduce the costs of litigation, we hereby request that the Court issue a protective order allowing Defendant’s opposing papers, our reply and any other papers pertinent thereto, to be filed on November 22, 2019 under seal in accordance with the procedures that govern the filing of sealed documents on the NYCEF. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Marlen Kruzhkov Marlen Kruzhkov, Esq. Counsel for Plaintiff Stella Stolper Enclosure Cc: All counsel of record (via ECF)
