The public right of access attaches only to "judicial documents." Because nonprosecution agreements are not judicial documents, there is no public right of access to them either under the First Amendment or the common law. To be considered a judicial document, "the item filed must be relevant to the performance of the judicial function and useful in the judicial process." United States v.

As the District of Columbia Circuit stated in evaluating whether a plea agreement which was submitted to the district court as an attachment to the government's motion for leave to file the plea agreement under seal was a judicial document where the plea agreement was not ultimately filed with the court because the plea deal broke down: The details of the plea agreement may, of course, be relevant to evaluating the performance of the Department of Justice or other law enforcement agencies in their
