  Tormey's decision means details of New York Regional Interconnect's lease agreement with New York Susquehanna and Western Railway Corp. could become public this spring, said O-D attorney Michael Grygiel, a partner with Hiscock & Barclay.
  ...
  "The O-D's position throughout the litigation was that such economic harm, assuming it exists, does not qualify as substantial competitive harm for purposes of the FOIL exemption," Grygiel said.
  ...
  While Tormey dismissed the case, the lease agreement would not be released to the newspaper for at least 30 days to allow for additional court procedures and the possibility of an appeal, Grygiel said.

  O-D attorney Michael Grygiel took issue with McNamara's approach.

  Such reasoning, Grygiel, argued last month, is not legally sufficient to justify sealing the video from public review.
