District Court Decisions

Concepcion v. FBI, No. 07-1766, 2010 WL 1189832 (D.D.C. Mar. 30, 2010) (Urbina, J.). Defendant has not provided sufficient justification for its claim that the sealing order issued by the judge in plaintiff's criminal case should be read to bar release of a draft affidavit that is identical to an affidavit that was filed with the court under seal. The sealing order "itself presents no rationale for its issuance" and "defendant presents no transcript or other documentation to cast light on the factors that motivated the court to impose the seal."
