SECRECY IS DECIDED BY GOOD CAUSE, COMPELLING REASONS, NOT AGREEMENTS.

Just because lawyers and their clients have agreed to keep things a secret does not mean that the Courts must keep those things secret now, let alone for all time.  "Specifically, parties often disregard the precedent that holds, the fact that the Court has entered a stipulated protective order and that a party has designated a document as confidential pursuant to that protective order does not, standing alone, establish sufficient grounds to seal a filed document."  MetroPCS v. AZZ Connection, LLC, No. 2:15-cv-01412-JAD-DJA, 2020 WL 127550, at *5 (D. Nev. January 10, 2020) (Albregts, USMJ).
