US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has denied a request by the Diocese of Bridgeport to keep court files on clergy sex abuse cases sealed until the court decides whether to take up their case in the fall.
Ginsberg verbally notified attorneys in the case of her decision late Tuesday, the Hartford Courant reports.
The diocese’s attorney, Ralph W. Johnson III, said church officials will now decide whether to ask the full nine-member court to keep the stay in place.
The diocese is trying to keep sealed more than 12,600 pages of depositions, exhibits and legal arguments involving 23 lawsuits against seven priests from the Bridgeport diocese.
