Can I file a sealed case or document electronically?

Type: 
Procedure
Answer: 

No. Prior to filing a sealed case or a sealed document in a public case, a motion requesting authorization to file under seal must be filed and granted by court order after which sealed documents must be delivered to the court in paper form. The court will file the document in CM/ECF and set the appropriate access restrictions so that the document may not be viewed by anyone other than the judge assigned to the case and persons specifically granted access by the judge, if applicable.
