Comments 5077-1(C)-(D) The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts has provided guidance to the courts on the statutory and policy requirements for copying official court transcripts of court proceedings filed with the clerk of court. Accordingly, paragraphs (C) and (D) of LBR 5077-1 are repealed. [Change effective 4/1/03.]

5007-1 Former Local Bankruptcy Rule 5077-1 is re-designated as Local Bankruptcy Rule 5007-1. Paragraph (A) is repealed. The first sentence of FRBP 5007(a) adequately addresses the requirement set forth in the deleted sentence and the second sentence is addressed by different means with the reporter. Paragraphs (B) through (E) remain unchanged. Paragraph (F) is new. This paragraph balances the promotion of remote electronic access by the public to transcripts filed with the Clerk with the need to protect personal privacy concerns and other legitimate interests. The procedure set forth therein provides a means by which personal data identifiers and other information may be redacted from a transcript before the transcript is made remotely available electronically to the public. [Re-designated Rule 5007-1, amended Paragraph (A) and new Paragraph (F) effective 1/15/07.]
