The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reviewed a district court's decision to seal documents in a defamation case involving Ghislaine Maxwell. The court held that the district court erred by not conducting a particularized review of the documents and ordered the unsealing of the summary judgment record. The case involved allegations against Jeffrey Epstein and other prominent individuals. The court emphasized the need for transparency and the presumption of public access to judicial documents.
