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
