While a case is pending and until a record is sealed, it is a public record. While a public record, individuals and private business may download information from court, police, or jail files. The court order to seal does not undo such dissemination or apply to private businesses that may have downloaded your case information before the sealing. Therefore, private businesses may still have your case information even after your official record is sealed. If you become aware of such knowledge, it is your responsibility to notify the holder of the information and request that they comply with the spirit of the sealing law and delete their records. You should be aware that, under current law, they are not required to do so.(Applicant222s copy)Effective 6/6/18 American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com 8Name: Case Number: Case Number:IN THE VERMILION MUNICIPAL COURTERIE COUNTY, OHIOSealing of record will be sent to the following:Data Operations Corelogic, 3001 Hackberry Rd., Irving TX 75063Automation Research, CBC Companies, Inc., 1651 NW Professional Plaza, Columbus, OH 43220C.R.
