The case involves the public's right of access to judicial records in a civil case. The appellant sought to review pleadings, motions, and evidence that were sealed as part of a settlement. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district court's protective order sealing the file, stating that the district court abused its discretion by sealing the records without a compelling reason. The case was remanded for proceedings consistent with the opinion.
