On February 27, 2002, the defendant filed a Motion to Unseal in which he asks the Court to permit him to examine the plaintiff's fee agreement with his present counsel and also asks the Court to provide him with a list of any and all sealed or ex parte filings in this case Although the defendant's motion suggests that none of the pleadings in this case should be sealed, it is clear that he has focused in on the sealing of the plaintiff's contingent fee agreement. Thus, the Court in the within order will only discuss the defendant's request in that regard. Concerning the general sealing of this case, the Court notes that because it contains a great deal of financial information about the defendant's assets and liabilities, it would be potentially damaging to all parties in this litigation to have that information disseminated to members of, the general public.
