Documents sealed in Portland case

All appears quiet in the discrimination case against Penn State and Rene Portland, the head women's basketball coach at the university.

Unless you take a look at federal court records.

They show that at least three documents were filed in the case last month -- as recently as Jan. 26.

But those documents have been sealed. The public -- including reporters -- cannot read them.

We haven't reported any substantial news in the case since November, when a judge set June 18 as a jury-selection date.

The parties have been mum lately.

Speculation, certainly, is rampant.

We'll report concrete information when we can.
