Rule 7. Protected Address
(1) Timing and Procedure. Not later than 5 days after a request is filed, the court must rule on it without waiting for a response and without holding a hearing, unless the court finds that a hearing is appropriate. If the court decides to hold a hearing, it must hold the hearing not later than 20 days after the request is filed and it must give notice of the hearing to all parties who have appeared in the action.
(2) Effect of Ruling. If the court grants the request, the clerk must not publicly disclose the person's address, and the requesting party's later filings do not need to include the party's address. If the court denies the request, the requesting party must include the party's address in all later filings.
(1) Generally. A party may serve a document on a person with a protected address by delivering a copy of the document to the clerk and paying the fee established by administrative order to cover the cost of service. The clerk then must promptly mail the document by regular first-class mail to the most recent protected address the person has provided to the clerk. The clerk's mailing envelope must show the clerk's return address.
