Hi, Would you please tell me what is the meaning of retired and for what little it mattered in the following text?
Second,Sackett was dead. Four years earlier he'd been killed in a bar fight in Alaska. The news of his passing barely made it to Mississippi, and when his file retired in Lauderdale County, not a single reporter noticed. Barry Reinhart's exhaustive research discovered the truth, for what little it mattered.
Thanks
