COHEN3-SEAL-2,191,NY-COMDIV-COHEN-J,¶2,Substantive Standard for Sealing,General assertions that information contained in documents is 'confidential' are not sufficient. The party seeking to seal court records has the burden to demonstrate compelling circumstances to justify restricting public access. The fact that the parties have a confidentiality agreement or stipulate to sealing is not sufficient. The Court has an independent obligation to determine whether sealing is appropriate. Narrowly targeted redactions are more likely to be permitted than sealing of an entire document or court file.,,"[""courtroom-procedures"", ""attorney-conduct""]","[""Maxim, Inc. v Feifer, 145 AD3d 516 (1st Dept 2016)"", ""Gryphon Dom.
