MINUTE ORDER as to MICHAEL T. FLYNN. There is a strong presumption in favor of public access to judicial records. See, e.g., Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 (1978) (”It is clear that the courts of this country recognize a general right to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.”). The government filed a redacted version of the memorandum and the FD-302, which the defendant quoted and cited in his sentencing memorandum, on the public docket. See Docket Entry 56 . Furthermore, the defendant has established good cause to file the documents, which he received from the government pursuant to a Protective Order, under seal. The Court therefore GRANTS 51 defendant’s motion for leave to file document under seal. It is ORDERED that the defendant is granted leave to file [51-1] his response to the Order of the Court under seal. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 12/17/2018. (lcegs3) (Entered: 12/17/2018)

Does that say the document will be filed with the court, but under seal, meaning the public won’t see it?

If I’m not mistaken, Judge Sullivan is saying that Mueller has the right to not make public the 302 document/s? Is there more I do not grok? (very likely)
