Rule 4 Documents and Information Excluded from Public Access and Confidential Pursuant to the Rules on Access to Court Records

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

Some documents in a court case are not open to the public. These are records that court rules say must stay private. This could include things like certain personal information or sensitive details connected to the case.

If you need to file one of these private documents with the court, you have to follow the filing steps laid out in Trial Rule 5(G). That rule explains the correct way to submit confidential paperwork so it stays protected and does not become part of the public file by mistake.

In short, this rule does not create new privacy protections. It just tells people to follow the existing process in Trial Rule 5(G) whenever they are filing documents that are already considered confidential under other court rules.
