Case Number: 
No. 13-1626
Decision Date: 
August 20, 2014
Federal District: 
S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in denying Intervenors’ request to view certain documents/exhibits filed under seal in plaintiff's response to defendant’s motion to dismiss, where said documents/exhibits were not relied upon or cited by plaintiff in its response, and where Dist. Ct. indicated that he would not consult said documents when ruling on motion to dismiss. While public has general right to view documents that have been filed in case, said right did not apply, where instant documents played no role in any judicial decision.
