DISTRICT OF NEVADA

4 IN RE: NON-PARTY REMOTE ACCESS TO
CIVIL PROCEEDINGS GENERAL ORDER 2025—01
5

7 Civil proceedings are generally open to the public. Some courts allow the public to
8 view civil proceedings by remote access. The Court deems it wise to adopt a policy allowing
9 non-parties to a case to remotely view civil proceedings if the presiding judge permits.
10 I THEREFORE ORDER that non-parties may request remote access in a civil
11 proceeding on a case-by-case basis by submitting a Non-Party Access Request form to the
12 Clerk’s Office. The form is available at www.nvd.uscourts.gov/court-
13 information/forms/nonpartyremote, which includes instructions for submitting the form. By
14 submitting a request for remote access, the requestor consents to the jurisdiction of the court.
15 The clerk of court will file the Non-Party Access Request on the case docket. Any party may
16 object to an access request by filing an objection on the docket or, if time does not permit,
17 asserting an objection on the record at the commencement of the proceeding to which access is
18 sought.
19 I FURTHER ORDER that no recordings, photographing, or retransmitting of
20 proceedings in federal court are permitted. Any violation of this provision will result in
21 immediate revocation of remote access to the proceeding and may lead to a ban on remote
22 access in any other proceeding in this court. The court may also impose other sanctions it
23 deems necessary, including, without limitation, monetary sanctions.
24 DATED this 29th day of January, 2025.
