Motions to Seal

(a) A motion to seal a confidential document or an unredacted version of a document containing confidential information shall state the authority for confidentiality, i.e., the statute, administrative order or court rule providing for confidentiality, or the privacy interest or circumstance that requires confidentiality. Upon filing of the motion to seal with the unredacted version of the document, the unredacted version of the document shall be kept confidential pending a ruling on the motion. The court shall review the motion to seal and any objection to the motion to seal that may have been filed and determine whether the unredacted version of the document shall be confidential. An order will be issued setting forth the court's ruling on the motion to seal. (b) A party or person with standing may move to seal or redact confidential documents or confidential information that is contained or disclosed in the filing of any other party and may request an immediate order to seal the document pending the court's ruling on the motion.
