SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 27 – An arbitrator
of the Major League Baseball
Players Association issued two
decisions on disputes between
agent firm The Legacy Agency
and three former employees.
Then
parties asked to seal the
decisions, or at least the
dollar figures in
them.
On
September 27 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Koeltl told the parties
whatever the arbitration
rules, the dollar figure was
already public: $816,500 plus
pre-judgment interest.
Ultimately the
parties agreed it made no
sense to seek to seal
something already public.
The case is The
Legacy Agency, Inc. v.
Scoffield et al., 20-cv-5771
(Koeltl)
