49.7
Ex parte
submissions
Filing of
ex parte
submissions
- If the law allows a party to submit a pleading or other paper
ex parte
, the party may file the document with the clerk without serving a copy on any other party. The document shall be properly identified on its face as
Ex Parte
. A registered attorney must submit any
ex parte
filing electronically by use of the appropriate CM/ECF event. A notice of electronic filing (NEF) will be generated for the
ex parte
document and will be transmitted to all parties. Unless modified by the filer, the NEF and docket entry will identify the document only as "
Ex Parte
Document" or "
Ex Parte
Motion."
Access to
ex parte
filings
- The docket entry and the NEF for any
ex parte
filing will be available for public viewing. Unless the court specifically orders otherwise, access to
ex parte
documents will be available only to the party submitting the filing (or that party’s registered attorneys) and to the personnel of this court and the court of appeals, but not to the public or any other party.
Filings by the court
- The court may issue restricted access orders in response to
ex parte
filings. Access to these orders will be restricted to the moving party, the personnel of this court and the court of appeals. The docket entry and the NEF for any restricted access order will be identified as such and available for public viewing.
Sealed cases
- If an entire case has been sealed, either by order or by operation of statute, then neither the
ex parte
submission nor any docket entry relating thereto will be available for public viewing, until such time as the court orders otherwise.
