Advisory Committee Notes
2020 Amendment
The amended rule includes both stylistic and substantive changes. The format of subdivisions is changed to maintain a consistent style across all rules. Various subdivisions and the note regarding social security numbers are amended to maintain a consistent style for references to the court’s website. The note regarding filing format is amended to incorporate the applicable district rule. Subdivision (B)(2) is revised to refer to the form by document title rather than number, following recent revisions to the numbers of Official Forms. Other subdivisions are edited for readability.
