The problem with any allegedly confidential material is that you can't "unring the bell." If the judge did not seal it, and it turned out to be confidential, that would be irresponsible in the extreme.

And a judge can't assume that one side is telling the truth, no matter how obvious it seems. Prejudging before a hearing is bad judging.

This is simply an order to preserve the status quo. But I would bet you that he's going to believe the court clerk WAY ahead of some random attorney.
