  • “[u]nlike a business newspaper or magazine, which would cover any transactions deemed newsworthy, Fitch only ‘covers’ its own clients”
  • “Unlike a business newspaper or magazine, which would cover any trans- actions deemed newsworthy, Fitch only ‘covers’ its own clients.”
  • Motions to compel are “entrusted to the sound discretion of the district court.”
  • “Fitch’s information-disseminating activity does not seem to be based on a judgment about newsworthiness, but rather on client needs. We believe this weighs against Fitch being able to assert the privilege for the information at issue.”
  • “‘A trial court enjoys wide discretion in its handling of pre-trial discovery, and its rulings with regard to discovery are reversed only upon a clear showing of an abuse of discretion.’” (quoting In re DG Acquisition Corp., 151 F.3d 75, 79 (2d Cir.1998)
