Judges
The motion to seal the psychological evaluations attached as Appendices D and E to
defendant-appellant’s brief on appeal is GRANTED. We find good cause to seal these documents based
on the highly personal information included in them, and we determine that there are no less restrictive
means to adequately and effectively protect the interest asserted. We also determine that there is no
substantial public interest in access to the content of the psychological evaluations at this time. MCR
7.211(C)(9)(e); MCR 8.119(I)(1)-(2). However, we note that this is without prejudice to the ability of the
case call panel deciding these appeals to discuss in its opinion any aspects of the psychological evaluations
that it may consider reasonably necessary to explain its decision.
The Clerk must disclose or provide copies of any order or opinion entered in this appeal,
MCR 7.211(C)(9)(c); MCR 8.119(I)(6), but sealed pleadings or other contents of the file must not be
disclosed or made available for public viewing. The case docket will not be blocked on the Court’s
website.
The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this order to the Clerk of the Supreme Court and
to the State Court Administrative Office. MCR 7.211(C)(9)(c); MCR 8.119(I)(7).
