Local Rule LCrR 7: INDICTMENT

LCrR 7 INDICTMENT a. Personal Data Identifiers in an Indictment or Information. Local Rule 10(g), relating to personal data identifiers, applies in criminal cases, except an indictment or information may include a personal data identifier if necessary to comply with the requirements of federal law. If an information contains personal data identifiers, the lawyer for the government must provide the Clerk of Court with the original information and a copy of the information with all personal data identifiers redacted. (See LR 10(g)). The Clerk of Court will file the original information under seal and the redacted copy of the information in the public case file. (See LCrR 6(b), relating to the filing under seal of indictments containing personal data identifiers).

b. Superseding Indictment Changes. When a superseding indictment is filed, the lawyer for the government contemporaneously must file a brief statement describing the differences between the original indictment and the superseding indictment. Counsel should give consideration to also filing a red-lined version of the superseding indictment to highlight significant proposed changes for the ease of the court and opposing counsel.
