United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
178 F.3d 943 (1999)
Facts
During the pretrial discovery phase of litigation between Citizens First National Bank of Princeton (plaintiff) and Cincinnati Insurance Company (defendant), the federal district court issued a protective order permitting the parties to designate and keep out of the public record any material they considered to be trade secrets, information held in a fiduciary capacity, or other confidential or governmental information. On appeal of the trial verdict to the Seventh Circuit, one of the parties cited the protective order as precedent for the party’s motion to file an appendix under seal.
