CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Legal Newsline) – Thirteen motions to seal were filed in the Garlock Sealing Technologies bankruptcy proceeding before the deadline ended on Thursday, meaning Bankruptcy Judge George Hodges will release all sealed documents without pending motions to the public no later than Sept. 21.

The debtors – which include Garlock, Garrison Litigation Management Group and The Anchor Packing Company – filed a motion to seal with the handful of plaintiffs’ counsel in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina, agreeing that some information was provided under the impression that confidentiality would be maintained.
