California Court of Appeal

In this case, the trial court denied defendant's motion to seal 400 pages of the record in the lawsuit brought against the NCAA by a former assistant football coach at the University of Southern California, but conditionally sealed the documents at issue pending appellate review. Defendant now moves to seal the same documents lodged as part of the appellate record. Defendant's motion to seal the appellate record lodged conditionally under seal is denied, where defendant failed to carry its burden to demonstrate that its interest in the confidentiality of its enforcement proceedings overrides the constitutional right of access and the presumption of openness, or how this interest in confidentiality would be prejudiced if the documents at issue were disclosed.
