Local Rule 9037-1: REDACTION OF PERSONAL DATA IDENTIFIERS
Bankr. E.D.N.Y. — General rule
Rule 9037-1 REDACTION OF PERSONAL DATA IDENTIFIERS
(a) All documents filed with the Court shall comply with Bankruptcy Rule 9037.
(b) The responsibility for redacting personal data identifiers (as defined in Bankruptcy Rule 9037) rests solely with the filing party, including counsel, parties in interest and non-parties. The Clerk, or claims agent if one has been appointed, will not review documents for compliance with this rule. In the event the Clerk or claims agent discovers that personal identifier data or information concerning a minor has been included in a pleading, the Clerk, or claims agent, is authorized, in its sole discretion, to restrict public access to the document in issue and to inform the filer of the requirement to file a motion to redact.
(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 9037, a party seeking to redact personal identifiers from a document or proof of claim already filed with the Court shall file a motion to redact the personal identifiers, in accordance with CM/ECF procedures, that identifies the proposed document for redaction by docket number or if applicable, by claim number. Prior to filing the motion to redact, the party shall contact the Clerk's Office to request that the Clerk's Office restrict the original document containing the personal identifiers from public view on the docket.
(d) The filer shall include a certificate of service at the time the motion to redact is filed, showing service to the debtor, anyone whose personal information has been disclosed, the case trustee (if any), and the United States trustee.
(e) The party seeking redaction shall file a correctly redacted document or proof of claim within 21 days of the granting of the motion.
