Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

Why would a judge order discovery documents sealed? from who, the public? I can't imagine the plaintiffs. Under judicial decree, could plaintiffs be forbidden from viewing them? As damning as they may be, that's the chance 'lawbreakers' take if they choose to break the law. How can you have fair justice if documents are sealed?
If that does occur, I guess that would put defendants at an advantage. Would that necessarily be a defeat for shareholders? In this case, does the freedom of information act (FOIA) come into play?
