The Appellate Division reversed the order which, on defendants' motion, directed that the entire file be sealed, denied the motion, vacated the sealing order, and directed that the order dismissing the action be unsealed. Although the action was dismissed after the appeal was perfected, the appeal, which addresses the propriety of the sealing order, is not moot to the extent that the dismissal order, which is on appeal, is under seal pursuant to the sealing order.
