Local Rule LBR 9037-1: Privacy Protection of Personally Identifiable Information

LBR 9037-1. Privacy Protection of Personally Identifiable Information

(a) Motion to Redact. If a document in the public record contains unredacted personally identifiable information protected under Bankruptcy Rule 9037 or other authority, a party may request that the court restrict remote electronic access to the document by filing a motion substantially conforming to the local form (Motion to Redact). The motion may be filed in a closed case. The filing fee may be waived if the filer is the individual or represents the individual whose personal information is the subject of the motion.

(b) Service of Motion. The moving party must serve a copy of the motion on the debtor, any individual whose personal identifiers have been exposed, the filer of the unredacted document, the trustee, and the United States Trustee. A certificate of service shall identify any minor served only by the minor's initials.

(c) Submission of Redacted Document. If the moving party is the party who originally filed the subject document, that party must file a redacted version of the document for the public record. If no changes are made to the previously filed document except for redactions, the redacted version should be attached to the local form (Submission of Redacted Version of Previously Filed Document).
