compliance with the redaction requirements of Federal Rule of Criminal
Procedure 49.1. In addition, the filer shall redact passport numbers and
driver license numbers in their entirety, and shall ensure that any document
that contains a home address shall include only the city and state. This
restriction on including passport numbers, driver license numbers, and full
home addresses shall not apply to a filing exempted by Federal Rule of
Criminal Procedure 49.1(b); to an under-seal filing as set forth in Federal
Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1(d), (f), or (g); or where the protection of
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1(h) has been waived with respect to
that information.
Parties shall carefully examine the documents, exhibits, or attachments to be
filed with the Court in order to protect any sensitive and private information.
The responsibility for redacting or placing under seal protected personal data
identifiers rests solely with counsel and the parties. The Clerk will not
review any pleadings or documents for compliance.
Counsel and the parties are cautioned that failure to redact or place under
seal protected personal data identifiers may subject them to the full
disciplinary power of the Court. If a redacted version of the document is
filed, counsel shall maintain possession of the unredacted document pending
further order of the Court or resolution of the action (including the appeal, if
any) and shall, at the request of opposing counsel or parties, provide a copy
of the complete document.
