Re: Motion to seal court records
If the pleading is entitled to be sealed because some substantial interest may be compromised [not just because you don't want others to know] a motion to seal the pleading is filed and the matters are kept secret until ruled upon by the presiding judge who may or may not seal it.
Anyone who has to ask this question for real needs experienced legal representation. Federal court is not for the do-it-yourself if they want a chance to prevail.
