In the Fairholme Funds v. The United States case, Judge Margaret Sweeney ruled in favor of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to keep documents in the case sealed under “protected information,” according to an order filed on Sept. 4. The court denied the motion by the plaintiffs and said it was too early to consider unsealing the documents since the case is still in the discovery phase. “Because this case is in the jurisdictional discovery phase, the court finds that it is premature to grant at this juncture plaintiffs’ various motions to remove the ‘protected information’ designation from certain deposition transcripts and documents produced during jurisdictional discovery,” said the order.
