That request must be accompanied by either (1) a publicly filed copy of their settlement agreement or (2) a request to publicly file the agreement with provisions that are commercially sensitive or that contain trade secrets redacted, which request must be supported by particularized arguments as to why the parties' privacy interests or other concerns overcome the presumption of public access, see Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 119-20. If the parties no longer wish for this Court to retain enforcement jurisdiction over their agreement, they must so notify the Court by letter no later than February 4, 2019.
