New Procedures Regarding Privacy and Transcripts
Notice of Intent to Request Redaction and Notice of Redaction with a List of Location Identifiers
The Judicial Conference recently posted redaction procedures for transcripts in order to comply with the Judicial Conference's privacy policy. Protected personal information must be redacted prior to transcripts becoming public in electronic format. In order to comply with this policy, transcripts posted in the electronic file will be available only to the court and attorneys involved in the case until reviewed for redaction.
When a transcript is filed with the court, a Notice of Filing of Transcript will be sent to the parties' attorneys. Each attorney has five (5) business days to review the transcript for protected private information. If redactions might be necessary, the attorney must file a Notice of Intent to Request Redaction with the court within 5 days of the Notice of Filing of Transcript. If redactions are needed, the attorney has twenty-one (21) days from file date of Notice of Intent to Request Redaction to file a Notice of Redaction with a List of Location Identifiers with the court and the court reporter. The court reporter has sixty (60) days to make the requested redactions.
Once the redactions are made, the redacted transcript will be made public in the case. If no Notice of Intent to Request Redaction (due within 5 days of the Notice of Filing of Transcript) and Notice of Redaction (due within 21 days of filing the Notice of Intent to Request Redaction) are filed, the transcript will be made public when the deadlines pass.

Document Event Modifications
In ECF Databases: A new drop down listing of document events has been uploaded into both the "live" and "training" ECF databases. The prior document event listing generally started with "Motion for" or "Notice of" wherein the actual type of motion or notice was embedded within the document event. To assist you in locating the document event easier and quicker, the leading words such as "motion" and "notice' have been moved to the end of the document event; therefore, the type of motion or notice is listed first. For example: "Motion for Relief from Stay (CSD 1160 & 1163)(fee)" is now listed as "Relief from Stay (Motion) (CSD 1160 & 1163) (fee)" and "Notice of Filing of a Motion for Relief from Stay (CSD 1185)" is now "Relief from Stay (Notice)(CSD 1185)". The majority of the changes are in the Motions and Notices category.
In Attorney Online Manual: The name of the procedure has not changed - ie: Motion for Relief from Stay. However, the "Select Document Event" step within the procedure contains the modified document event.
