Bankr. D.N.J. — General rule
D.N.J. LBR 9018-1. Motion to File a Document Under Seal A party seeking to file a document under seal must file a motion consistent with the procedures in the court's CM/ECF User's Guide. The motion must include Local Form Order Concerning Request to Seal Documents.
2015 Comment This Rule is new. A self-represented party should contact the clerk's office for guidance.
If the court grants the motion, the document will be kept under seal until the case or adversary proceeding is closed, at which time the clerk will follow the procedures for the treatment of sealed documents under the judiciary's record retention policy.
If the court denies the motion, the clerk will delete the proposed sealed document.
