Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) states:
If a party wishes to file a document that has been designated
confidential by another party pursuant to a protective order, or if a
party wishes to refer in a memorandum or other filing to information
so designated by another party, the submitting party must file and
serve an Administrative Motion for a sealing order and lodge the
document, memorandum or other filing in accordance with this rule.
If only a portion of the document, memorandum or other filing is
sealable, the submitting party must also lodge with the Court a
redacted version of the document, memorandum or other filing to be
placed in the public record if the Court approves the requested sealing
order. Within 7 days thereafter, the designating party must file with
the Court and serve a declaration establishing that the designated
information is sealable, and must lodge and serve a narrowly tailored
proposed sealing order, or must withdraw the designation of
confidentiality. If the designating party does not file its responsive
declaration as required by this subsection, the document or proposed
filing will be made part of the public record.
