CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Legal Newsline) – U.S. Bankruptcy Judge George Hodges released instructions and deadlines last week for the process of unsealing evidence introduced last year by Garlock Sealing Technologies that alleged fraud on the part of asbestos plaintiffs attorneys.

Hodges’ Aug. 1 order comes after U.S. District Judge Max O.

Legal Newsline appealed Hodges 2013 decision to close the courtroom while the evidence was submitted.
