Re: How to ask court to seal its own file?
YOu can make a motion. The court has an inherent right to seal its own file. The motion is an easy one to make but requires you know how to do it and have access to the case law supporting your position. Assuming the case is already over, you cannot make an oral motion.
Moreover many courts are unaware that the sealing statute does not cover sealing the courts own file and requires a separate motion.
It may behoove you to hire a lawyer to do this motion for you. If you decide you'd rather have a professional do this, you may if you do not have a lawyer already, contact me using the links provided below.
Good luck.
