Judge keeps records open in State Sen. Dr. Tyler Johnson (R-Leo) malpractice suit, stays case until June

An Allen County judge paused the medical malpractice case against state Sen. Tyler Johnson on Monday and denied the lawmaker’s request to seal certain documents.

Lawyers for Dr. Johnson, R-Leo-Cedarville, requested last month that some filings be withheld from public access. They argued the first-term lawmaker’s reputation has been harmed and that “various interested parties have publicized this lawsuit, needlessly and unfairly litigating this case in public media.”
