Attorneys for the Sonics filed a motion in federal court on Friday arguing against documents from Seattle developer Matt Griffin being sealed for attorney’s eyes only and not available for members of the Sonics ownership group to view.
Friday’s filing was the latest in court proceedings leading up to the June 16 trial between the City of Seattle and the Sonics over terms of the KeyArena lease.
The city filed a lawsuit against the Sonics to force the team to honor the last two years of its lease, which ends in September 2010.
The filing claims that Griffin, who serves as spokesperson for a private investment group trying to secure arena funding for an NBA team in Seattle, has not met the heavy burden necessary to establish confidential treatment for the documents.
