Rule 8. Confidential Documents and Information
(c) Filing Paper Confidential Documents. A party filing a paper confidential document must place it in an envelope marked with the case name, the case number, the name of the document being filed, the name of the party filing the document, and the words “Confidential Document.” A confidential document referenced in a pleading or motion as an exhibit must state on the envelope the title of that pleading or motion and identify the exhibit number. A party must use a separate envelope for each confidential document. The clerk is not required to review a document to determine whether it is a confidential document.
(2) Responsibility with Filer. The responsibility for not including or redacting confidential information rests solely with the person filing a document. The clerk and the court are not required to review documents for compliance with this rule, or to seal or redact documents that contain confidential information.
(f) Confidential Documents as Hearing Exhibits. A confidential document may be used as an exhibit, or a part of an exhibit, at any hearing in the probate case in which the confidential document was filed. The party submitting the exhibit for the clerk to mark must identify the document as being, or including, a confidential document, and the clerk must mark it as such. Any exhibit that is, or includes, a confidential document and that is offered into evidence is governed by section (b).
