FEDERAL COURT, May 6 – Capital One Auto Finance was sued in 2024 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Amid a dispute about the timing of discovery production, Capital One moved for sanctions. 

  The plaintiff's responded by submitting medical records and more. The motion to seal, found by Inner City Press which beyond its unsealing in SDNY, 100 Centre Street and the Second Circuit it looking further out, states:

"Exhibits I and J relate to an ongoing criminal proceeding arising from the violent assault committed against Plaintiff and contain sensitive victim-impact information, medical injury descriptions, safety concerns, and personally sensitive information concerning Plaintiff’s participation in the criminal matter, as follows: a.) Exhibit I: Court Subpoena, February 4, 2026 b.) Exhibit J: Victim Impact Statement, February 4, 2026."  

 There was an order on the motion on May 6. In free CourtListener, it is mentioned without any link. But even in for-pay PACER, the order is not there.

   The case is Pope v. Capital One Auto Finance, et al., 2:24-cv-845 (W.D.P.A.)
