Mary's urt mem sealing News-Gazette's right to view Mahomet man's settlement records upheld. CHICAGO (AP) Items that have already become part of the public record cannot later be sealed simply by the agreement of the parties involved in the cases, an Illinois appellate court has ruled. "The file of a court case is a public record to which the people and the press have a right of access. Once documents are subject to the right of access, only a compelling reason, accompanied by specific factual findings, can justify keeping them from public view," said Justice James A. Knecht, writing for the majority.

The appellate court ruled that under either common law or First Amendment law, a trial judge abused his discretion in February in denying the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette access to parts of a personal injury case and a divorce case. The paper was investigating allegations of wrongdoing that may have involved some partici Lewis EFFINGHAM Cyrus Lewis, 86, Flora, formerly of Effingham, died Monday (Aug. 17, 1992).

DECATUR OFFICE SPRINGFIELD OFFICE 422-6042 523-2307 ns ruling pants in one of the cases. A Mahomet man injured on a construction site in 1987 had filed a lawsuit relating to the injury and settled out of court in October 1991. That settlement became an issue during his divorce hearings. Champaign County Circuit Judge George S. Miller sealed th? records at the request of the attorf neys involved in the case "as an integral part of the agreement' that led to the settlement of the divorce case.

The newspaper challenged that ruling, and the 4th District Appellate Court in Springfield agreed Thursday. "This is not a close case," wrote Judge Robert Steigmann, a Champaign County circuit judge assigned to the appellate court ho issued a concurring opinion. "The only explanation for clo: sure is that the parties (or their attorneys) prefer that the public not be permitted access to these files. That preference can never demonstrate the compelling interest" that would justify keeping the files closed, he wrote. mmm mm wa jgrs West Route 316 Charleston, Illinois 61920 (217) 345-9587 SPECIAL 3570 South Mt.
