ORDER NO. 172
JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
[Regarding Sealed and Redacted Filings]
The Court previously granted parties in this action permission to temporarily file
documents under seal or in redacted form without first obtaining specific court approval and
required that they contemporaneously file a notice that a document was filed under seal. ECF
No. 4567 (“Order No. 133”). At the time that the Court issued Order No. 133, the Electronic
Case Filing System in the Southern District of New York did not allow parties to restrict viewing
access to a document filed on the docket, and it was therefore impossible for parties to file sealed
or unredacted documents electronically. The Court’s then-operative Individual Rules and
Practices in Civil Cases therefore required parties to email unsealed and unredacted (clean and
highlighted) versions of their filings to the Court.
The District’s Electronic Case Filing System was recently changed to allow parties to
restrict viewing access to documents filed on the docket, and the Court revised its Individual
Rules and Practices in Civil Cases to reflect those changes. Going forward, parties should file
any proposed sealed or redacted documents in accordance with Rules 7.C.ii-iv of the Court’s
Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases, which are available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/
hon-jesse-m-furman. For the reasons stated in Order No. 133, however, the parties may
temporarily file documents under seal or in redacted form, and they therefore do not need to file
Case 1:14-mc-02543-JMF Document 396 Filed 06/26/20 Page 2 of 2
a letter-motion seeking the Court’s specific permission. Parties should link all sealed filings to
this Order or to Order No. 133, in accordance with Rule 6.12 of the Electronic Case Filing Rules
& Instructions, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/rules/ecf-related-instructions. In light of
the fact that a docket entry for any sealed or redacted filings will appear on the docket, the
parties also need not file a notice that a document was filed under seal. Except to the extent
modified here, Order No. 133 remains in effect.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 26, 2020
New York, New York
