How can I submit a confidential document?

Before submitting a document under confidentiality, it is essential to obtain a court order granting permission to file it as such. The document to be filed must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Local Rules and the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure. Clearly indicate on the document that it should be filed under seal for easy identification. To maintain the document’s confidentiality, it is advisable to present sealed documents in an envelope rather than depositing them in the dropbox due to the public nature of Intake.
