SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The attorney representing one of two people charged in the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping case is seeking to keep the documents in the case sealed.

Stephen Tapson, the attorney for Nancy Garrido, filed legal documents Monday asking the judge in the case against his client and her husband, Phillip Garrido, to keep the documents and transcripts in the case sealed.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido were each indicted on 18 counts ranging from rape to false imprisonment, plus multiple special allegations.

Authorities say the Garridos abducted Dugard, then 11, in 1991 and held her captive she was found in August 2009.

Nancy Garrido has pleaded not guilty to the charges, while the criminal proceedings against her husband were suspended to evaluate his mental competency.

The request from Tapson comes ahead of hearing set for Thursday.
