United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit NOTICE OF ELECTRONIC AVAILABILITY OF CASE INFORMATION The First Circuit has implemented the Federal Judiciary's Case ManagementlElectronic Case Files System ("CMlECF") which penn its documents to be filed electronically. In addition, most documents filed in paper are scanned and attached to the docket. In social security and immigration cases, members of the general public have remote electronic access through PACER only to opinions, orders, judgments or other dispositions of the court. Otherwise, public filings on the court's docket are remotely available to the general public through PACER.
Accordingly, parties should not include in their public filings (including attachments or appendices) infonnation that is too private or sensitive to be posted on the internet.
Specifically, Fed. R. App. P. 25(a)(5), Fed. R. Bank. P. 9037, Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2 and Fed. R. Cr. P. 49.1 require that parties not include, or partially redact where inclusion is necessary, the following personal data identifiers from documents filed with the court unless an exemption applies:
- Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Numbers. If an individual's social security or taxpayer identification number must be included, only the last four digits of that number should be used.
- N ames of Minor Children. If the involvement of a minor child must be mentioned, only the initials ofthat child should be used.
- Dates of Birth. If an individual's date of birth must be included, only the year should be used.
- Financial Account Numbers. If financial account numbers are relevant, only the last four digits of these numbers should be used.
- Home Addresses in Criminal Cases. If a home address must be included, only the city and state should be listed.
See also Rule 12 of this court's Administrative Order Regarding Case Management/Electronic Case Files System.
If the caption of the case contains any of the personal data identifiers listed above, the parties should file a motion to amend caption to redact the identifier.
Parties should exercise caution in including other sensitive personal data in their filings, such as personal identifying numbers, medical records, employment history, individual financial infonnation, proprietary or trade secret infonnation, infonnation regarding an individual's cooperation with the government, infonnation regarding the victim of any criminal activity, national security infonnation, and sensitive security infonnation as described in 49 U.S.C. § 114.
Attorneys are urged to share this notice with their c1ients so that an infonned decision can be made about inc1usion of sensitive infonnation. The c1erk will not review filings for redaction. Filers are advised that it is the experience of this court that failure to comply with redaction requirements is most apt to occur in attachments, addenda, or appendices, and, thus, special attention should be given to them. For further infonnation, inc1uding a list of exemptions from the redaction requirement, see http://www.privacy.uscourts.gov!.
