PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A lawyer for two defendants in the lawsuit over the failed 38 Studios deal said he welcomes a public airing of the facts, but documents in the case should be released simultaneously.

Rhode Island’s economic development agency, the former Economic Development Corporation, is asking a judge to unseal filings because those involved have asked for a ruling on whether many claims in the multimillion-dollar lawsuit can go forward.

An attorney for lawyer Robert Stolzman and his firm Adler Pollock & Sheehan said in a motion filed Monday that releasing documents “in piecemeal fashion” could cause confusion and prevent the public from viewing the filings in their proper context.

Attorney William M. Dolan III wrote that former Gov. Donald Carcieri, who served as the EDC board chairman, testified for three days in July and August 2014. He argued that if the court grants the plaintiff’s motion, the full transcripts for the three days should be released even if the parties’ respective motions and objections only relied on one or two of them, for example.

Stolzman and his firm previously represented the EDC, which has since been renamed the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation.

A Superior Court judge plans to hear arguments Friday.

Gov. Gina Raimondo and House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello said Tuesday they welcome more transparency in the case. Both said they’re focused on moving forward, and making sure the state never makes the same mistakes.

“Anything we can do to promote transparency, to get to the bottom of what happened, is a good thing,” Raimondo said.

Ex-Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s failed video game company got a $75 million state-backed loan. The EDC sued Schilling and 13 others over 38 Studios’ collapse, alleging fraud, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty, among other things.

The lawsuit does not ask for a specific dollar amount but for the defendants to repay the bonds. The suit seeks triple damages.
