The decision comes after the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals ruled the video to be a public record on Monday.
Judge Balkman ruled the video is not a court record because it was not entered into evidence by either side during the civil suit. Both parties also said there were not any public copies of the video.
Joe Mixon was suspended from the OU football team for one year as a result of the incident after entering an Alford plea.
He accepted a one-year deferred sentence and agreed to complete 100 hours of community service. The docket on his case has since been expunged.
After redshirting in 2014, Mixon returned to the team last season. He rushed for 753 yards and seven touchdowns, helping the Sooners to the College Football Playoff.
