Electronic Access to Restricted and Sealed Documents and Service of Restricted and Sealed Documents

Thursday, September 18, 2025

On September 18, 2025, Chief Judge Rossiter entered a general order removing electronic access to restricted and sealed documents beginning September 18, 2025. As set forth in the order, restricted and sealed documents will continue to be filed in CM/ECF under existing procedures. However, because sealed documents and most restricted documents filed in CM/ECF are no longer accessible or viewable electronically, service of those documents cannot be accomplished through CM/ECF. Therefore, parties must serve restricted and sealed documents by other appropriate means as provided by the Federal Rules of Procedure.

For more information, see General Order 2025-04.
