of note:
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
This case concerns an order by the Southern District of New York (the
“district court”) that permitted the parties to file vast numbers of judicial records
under seal or redacted in their entirety as a matter of course and without any
judicial oversight. As a result, the public was denied access to the papers in
support of and opposition to Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and the
majority of the district court’s opinion denying that motion, among other
documents
ARGUMENT
I. Broad sealing without a judicial determination of compelling need
undermines the public’s First Amendment and common law rights of
access to judicial proceedings and records.
II. The Court should consider the function of records filed in connection
with discovery motions in determining whether they are judicial records
subject to the common law presumption of access.
III. The district court erred in treating Appellants’ motion to unseal as a
motion to modify a protective order.
IV The district court did not consider the public’s significant and
legitimate interest in access to the judicial records in this case.
V No compelling or countervailing interest overcomes the public’s First
Amendment or common law rights of access to the sealed records.

President Donald Trump's new nominee for secretary of labor, Alexander Acosta, could face a grilling in the Senate over claims that — while he was the top federal prosecutor in Miami — he cut a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 with a billionaire investor accused of having sex with dozens of underage girls.
As the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida, Acosta agreed not to file any federal charges against the wealthy financier, Jeffrey Epstein, if he pled guilty to state charges involving soliciting prostitution and soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Epstein ultimately received an 18-month sentence in county jail and served about 13 months — treatment that provoked outrage from alleged victims in the case.
We need to get to the bottom of this, once and for all, no matter what the outcome is.

Could be. But after I got suckered in by Reagan, Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama, I am not leaving any stone unturned. Let's air out our dirty linen, no matter who's been sleeping in that bed.
