Local Rule 9018-1: SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL, SCANDALOUS OR DEFAMATORY MATTERS

9018-1 SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL, SCANDALOUS OR DEFAMATORY MATTERS Parties are authorized to file sensitive documents with the Court under seal in CM/ECF. The documents will remain sealed until such time as the Court rules on the motion to seal. If service of the sealed document is required (either before or after entry of the Court's order on the motion to seal), the moving party must conventionally serve the sealed document on other parties to the case that are entitled to receive them. The Clerk or Court may, but is not required to, sua sponte restrict from viewing any document that appears to contain secret, confidential, scandalous or defamatory matters and may require the filing party to file a motion to redact and the redacted document, or a motion to seal, as appropriate.
