`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE UNDER
`SEAL AN EXHIBIT TO LARRY DAVID’S DECLARATION IN
`SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION
`
`
`
`
`Per Local Rule 5.4, Defendant Lawrence David moves unopposed for leave to file under
`
`seal a confidential exhibit in support of his Declaration filed as an attachment to Defendants
`
`Golden State Warriors, LLC, Larry David, Stephen Curry, Shohei Ohtani, and Naomi Osaka’s
`
`Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. (See ECF No. 139-2.)
`
`1.
`
`The Declaration filed contemporaneously herewith includes as Exhibit A a contract
`
`between Mr. David and various FTX entities.
`
`2.
`
`Generally, the presumption in this District is that proceedings are public and Court
`
`filings are a matter of public record. S.D. Fla. L.R. 5.4(a). However, the public’s right of access
`
`is not absolute and “may be overcome by a showing of good cause, which requires balancing the
`
`asserted right of access against the other party’s interest in keeping the information confidential.”
`
`Romero v. Drummond Co., Inc., 480 F.3d 1234, 1246 (11th Cir. 2007) (internal quotations and
`
`citations omitted).

`
`3.
`
`In balancing these interests to determine whether documents should be placed under
`
`seal, courts consider “whether allowing access would impair court functions or harm legitimate
`
`privacy interests, the degree of and likelihood of injury if made public, the reliability of the
`
`information, whether there will be an opportunity to respond to the information, whether the
`
`information concerns public officials or public concerns, and the availability of a less onerous
`
`alternative to sealing the documents.” Id. “A party’s privacy or proprietary interest in information
`
`sometimes overcomes the interest of the public in accessing the information.” Id.
`
`4.
`
`Here, Mr. David’s contract contains confidentiality provisions that prohibit him
`
`from disclosing to any third party the financial or other material terms of the contract. The contract
`
`also contains commercially sensitive and personal information regarding the terms of Mr. David’s
`
`services and intellectual property. Disclosure of the agreement (and terms thereof) could violate
`
`Mr. David’s confidentiality obligations and cause irreparable harm to his personal and commercial
`
`interests. Thus, to honor Mr. David’s obligations under the agreement, and to protect
`
`commercially sensitive information, he requests leave to file Exhibit A to his Declaration under
`
`seal.
`
`5.
`
`Mr. David requests that the Court maintain this record under seal until the
`
`conclusion of this case and further order of the Court.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Mr. David respectfully requests leave to file Exhibit A to his
`
`Declaration under seal.

`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(a)(3), counsel for Mr. David certifies that they conferred with
`
`counsel for Plaintiffs, on April 13, 2023. Plaintiffs’ counsel stated: “we certainly do not oppose

`
`review it and we will let you know if we think it needs/should be filed not under seal and can talk.”
