Local Rule D.N.J. LBR 9037-1: Privacy Protection for Transcripts
Bankr. D.N.J. — General rule
D.N.J. LBR 9037-1. Privacy Protection for Transcripts An entity seeking to redact from a filed transcript information set forth in Bankruptcy Rule 9037(a) must file Local Form Notice of Intent to Request Redaction not later than 7 days after the filing of the transcript; and file and provide to the transcriber Local Form List of Items to be Redacted not later than 21 days after the filing of the transcript.
2020 Comment This Rule is amended to eliminate subdivision (a) which is unnecessary because Federal Rule 9037(h) (effective December 1, 2019) sets forth the procedure for redacting information from a previously filed document.
Former subdivision (b) addresses the steps necessary for redacting information from a filed transcript. These steps remain unchanged.
The title has been amended accordingly.
2015 Comment This Rule is amended to streamline the procedure for protecting personal information in a filed document. On the filing of Local Form Application Requesting Redaction of Personal Information, the application and the document containing the personal information will be immediately restricted from public viewing until the court enters Local Form Order Directing Redaction of Personal Information and the entity that originally filed the document or such other entity as the court directs files the redacted document. Notice of the redaction is required under the Local Form Order Directing Redaction of Personal Information.
The procedure for obtaining redaction of personal information contained in a transcript is derived from the Judicial Conference Policy on Privacy and Public Access to Electronic Case Files.
Bankruptcy Rule 9018 addresses the protection of other kinds of sensitive information.
