Local Rule LCvR5.2.2: Filings Made Under Seal
W.D. Okla. — Civil rule
LCvR5.2.2 Filings Made Under Seal.
Leave of court is required to file a document or a portion of a document under seal, which shall be requested by filing a motion and submitting a proposed order granting the relief. The motion requesting leave should not ordinarily be filed under seal and therefore should state only in a general way the reason for the request (i.e., the document contains privileged, sensitive, or personal information).
When filing any document, including exhibits, under seal, the filer must include the words "FILED UNDER SEAL" in or above the caption. See Western District of Oklahoma Electronic Filing Policies & Procedures Manual.
