Homeowner filed a motion to seal the city’s nuisance complaint and city’s motion to compel inspection because they referred to homeowner’s expunged convictions, and he also sought sanctions against the city for the release of his sealed criminal records. The Court of Common Pleas denied motion, and homeowner appealed.
The Court of Appeals held that trial court abused its discretion when it denied homeowner’s motion to seal city’s nuisance complaint and city’s motion to compel inspection without holding a hearing or conducting an in camera inspection.
