SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 23 – A class action by Jiajia Luo and others similarly situated against Sogou, Inc. is settling. But the attorneys want portions of their fee application sealed.    

    On May 21, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Judge Liman expressed an openness to sealing the records, if appropriate, and said they could be filed later in the day.  

  Later on May 21 into the docket went a table of work by Andrew Rocco, $575 an hour for $10,206.25, some redactions; and Jeremy Kemp for $325 an hour for $4,712.50, research tracing [redacted.]

The case is Luo v. Sogou Inc. et al., 19-cv-230 (Liman)
