Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document620_ Filed 02/25/22 Page 20 of 21 the Defendant’s motion for a new trial. Cf Carbon Inv. Partners, LLC v. Bressler, No. 20-cv- 3617 (ER), 2020 WL 5441497, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 10, 2020). Accordingly, a high presumption of access attaches. For the reasons stated in this Court’s prior order, this presumption of access is not outweighed by the possibility of media interest in the document. See Dkt. No. 596 at 3. Nor is sealing necessary to safeguard a possible hearing for the reasons stated above. Finally, any privacy interest Juror 50 may have had in his questionnaire, see Press- Enterprise Co. v. Superior Ct. of Cal., 464 U.S. 501, 511-12 (1984), has at least been greatly diminished, if not extinguished, since his public comments. The Court further notes that prospective jurors had the opportunity to request that particular questionnaire answers remain confidential; Juror 50 did not make any such request. Accordingly, Juror 50’s privacy interest in the questionnaire is now outweighed by the presumption of access. Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 119- 20. The Defendant is accordingly ORDERED to docket Exhibit 1 to her motion for a new trial, Juror 50’s completed questionnaire. V. Conclusion For the reasons stated above, the Court will hold a hearing regarding Juror 50’s answers to Questions 25 and 48 of the questionnaire. The public proceeding will take place on March 8, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Juror 50 is hereby ORDERED to appear in Courtroom 906 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York at that date and time to give testimony under oath in response to the Court’s questions. Counsel for the Defendant and the Government are ORDERED to submit via email proposed questions in accordance with this Opinion & Order on or before March 1, 2022. SO ORDERED. 20 DOJ-OGR-00009561
