Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief

Order on Motion for Leave to File Sealed Document

Text Order DENYING [6] Motion for Leave to File Sealed Document entered by Judge Alan D Albright. Before the Court is Plaintiff Fangqun Li's Motion for Leave to File Certain Documents Under Seal. The Fifth Circuit heavily disfavors the sealing of documents placed on the record because "the public's right of access to judicial records is a fundamental element of the rule of law." June Med. Servs., L.L.C. v. Phillips, 22 F.4th 512, 519 (5th Cir. 2022). Maintaining transparency through public access to judicial records serves to promote trustworthiness of the judicial process, to curb judicial abuses, and to provide the public with a more complete understanding of the judicial system, including a better perception of its fairness. Id. Having reviewed Plaintiff's Motion, the Court finds that allowing Plaintiff to file its schedule of Defendants under seal would not promote the goals of the Fifth Circuit and is outweighed by the public's right of access to judicial records. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion is DENIED. Plaintiff is directed to file its list of Defendants publicly. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
