This listing shall be known as the Official Mailing List and the Matrix.

D.Redaction of Transcripts. In compliance with the policy on electronic availability of transcripts, access to every electronic transcript filed with the Court will initially be restricted to Court users. The transcript will be available at the office of the Clerk of the Court, for inspection only, for ninety (90) days to allow interested parties the opportunity to review the transcript and file a request for redaction, requesting that personal data identifiers be redacted prior to the transcript being made available to the public electronically. It is the responsibility of the parties to monitor the docket for the filing of the transcript. When a transcript is filed, it is the responsibility of attorneys and pro se parties who attended the hearing to review the transcript for redaction. The scope of an attorney's or pro se party's responsibility includes review of the following portions of a transcript:

• opening and closing statements made on the party's behalf; • statement of the party; • the testimony of any witnesses called by the party; and • any other portion of the transcript as ordered by the Court.

If only part of the transcript is filed, an attorney or pro se party is not responsible for reviewing other parts of the proceeding.

During the 90-day restriction period, the transcript and any redacted versions will not be available via remote electronic access except that an attorney who purchases the transcript during the 90-day period will be given remote electronic access to the transcript and any redacted version filed. PACER charges will be incurred each time the transcript is accessed via CM/ECF even when the attorney has purchased the transcript and the 30 page cap for PACER fees does not apply. Members of the general public, including pro se parties who purchase the transcript, will not be given remote electronic access to the transcript or any redacted version filed during the 90-day period.

Within seven (7) days of the filing by the Court reporter/transcriber of the transcript with the Clerk's office, each party shall inform the Court, by filing a Notice of Redaction with the Clerk, of the party's intent to redact personal data identifiers from the electronic transcript of the Court proceeding. Such personal data identifiers include:

• Social security numbers • Financial account numbers • Names of minor children • Dates of birth • Home addresses of the individuals If no such notice is filed within the allotted time, the Court will assume redaction of personal data identifiers from the transcript is not necessary and the transcript will be made electronically available on the ninety-first business day.

If a timely Notice of Redaction is filed by any party following the filing of the transcript with the Clerk's office, the unredacted version of the transcript is not to be made remotely electronically available to the general public until the redaction occurs. Within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the filing of the transcript, or longer if the Court so orders, the parties shall serve a request to the Court reporter/transcriber, the request shall indicate the location of the personal data identifiers in the transcript by including the page and paragraph or line where the personal data identifiers are located. The Court reporter/transcriber shall partially redact these personal data identifiers from the electronic transcript as follows:

• Social security numbers to the last four digits • Financial account numbers to the last four digits • Names of minor children to the initials • Dates of birth to the year • Home addresses of the individuals to the city and state During the twenty-one (21) day period, or longer if the Court so orders, attorneys may file a Motion for Protective Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9037(d) with the Court for any additional redactions to the transcripts. Once a Notice of Redaction is filed, the transcriber has thirty-one (31) days from the date of filing of the transcript to file a redacted transcript. After the redacted transcript is filed, the unredacted transcript shall not be disseminated by any party and is permanently restricted pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9037(e).
