On October 1, 2025, Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood entered General Order No. 25-0017 restricting electronic access to sealed documents beginning August 14, 2025. Sealed documents will continue to be filed in CM/ECF under existing procedures. A party with the right to access a sealed document can still request a paper copy by contacting the Clerk's Office. Because sealed documents filed in CM/ECF will no longer be accessible or viewable electronically, service cannot be accomplished through CM/ECF. Parties will have to serve sealed documents by other appropriate means as provided by the Federal Rules of Procedure.
