NOTICE REGARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION
On March 1, 2005, the United States District Court for the

documents submitted for filing available on the internet. The
Court, in its Administrative Procedures Governing Filing and Service

information should not be included on public filings except in
limited fashion. For example: (1) the names of minor children
should not be used, only their initials; (2) only the last four
digits of a social security number should be used; (3) a full date
of birth should not be used, only the year of birth need be given;
(4) only the last four digits of any financial account should be
included; and (5) in criminal cases, only the city and state of a
personal address need be given. Caution should also be used when
filing documents that contain the following: (1) personal
identifying numbers, such as driver’s license numbers; (2) medical
records; (3) employment history; (4) individual financial
information; (5) proprietary‘ or trade secret information; (6)
information regarding cooperation with the government; (7) victim
information; and (8) national security information.
It is not the responsibility of the Court to review each

that contains only limited personal information.
