Pepper denies the cheese company's motion to seal parts of the record in the employee's discrimination lawsuit where he alleges or implies the company uses illegal child labor and engaged in other criminal activity, including attempting to entice him with female minors. Although the employee is once again warned not to make these kinds of "irrelevant" and "inappropriate" allegations of criminal activity in his lawsuit, there is no basis under Seventh Circuit precedent to seal the documents as requested by the company, in part because they do not fit any of the three categories providing basis to seal and the company did not follow local rules by filing a redacted version of the documents they wish to have sealed. The employee is admonished that further violations of the court's rules and orders could result in sanctions.
