No. It's a public record. I can log in right now and get all the information, except for the full social security number of the debtors, that I want about any bankruptcy case filed in the country. There's nothing private about the information.

I do not see how you could accomplish that. Federal appeals courts have ruled that virtually any court matter involving adults is public.

I cannot see how you can prevent public records from being disseminated to the public. If there was a specific reason to seal a particular record or series of records, perhaps there might be cause, but you are not going to be lucky with a generic request like this.

No, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution forbids the government from censuring the publication of true information from the public record.
