    The trial court did not err in denying defendant's petition to seal records pursuant to O.C.G.A. 42-8-62.1, Georgia's statute limiting public access to first offender records in the custody of the clerk of court, because defendant's guilty plea to repeated violations of public trust in connection with his dental profession authorized the trial court to conclude that defendant's interest in having the documents sealed was far outweighed by the public's interest in having the records available.
