FEDERAL COURT, May 5 – A US
Air Force Major who was sexually assaulted and robbed in a
Marriott in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2022 is pursuing
a lawsuit for damages in the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of North Carolina.
The lawsuit got a smattering of media
coverage when it was filed in 2024. Since then, nothing.
Inner City Press, exploring the over-sealing of filings in
courts nationwide, came upon a sealing order dated May 5,
2026.
In free CourtListener, it is mentioned
without any link. But even in for-pay PACER, the order is
not there. It is already a John Doe case
with a pseudonym - what more needs to be sealed. And why
is the sealing order not available?
The case is John Doe v. Marriott
International, 3:24-cv-344 (W.D.N.C.)
