As the Ripple community braces for the major ruling on the key judgement on the Hinman 2018 documents, Ripple Labs has scored another victory as presiding judge Analisa Torres denied the SEC’s petition to seal its objection to Amici participation.
According to a tweet posted by defense lawyer James Filan, Torres has rejected the SEC’s request to seal the case as part of its objections to the filing of a brief by six Ripple investors regarding the determination of one of the commission’s experts, Patrick Doody.
“The Court refuses SEC’s Motion to Seal and Orders it to file by June 14 a redacted version of the brief and exhibits under seal, redacting information only to the extent necessary to protect information sought to be filed under seal,” tweeted Flan.
