On September 28, 2025, Chief Judge CJ Williams entered an administrative order removing electronic access to sealed documents.  As set forth in the administrative order, sealed documents will continue to be filed in the CM/ECF system under existing procedures.  See Public Administrative Order No. 23-AO-0002-P.  However, because sealed documents that are filed in the CM/ECF system are no longer accessible or viewable electronically, service of these documents cannot be accomplished through the CM/ECF system.  Therefore, parties must serve sealed documents by other appropriate means as provided by the Federal Rules of Procedure.

For more information, please see Public Administrative Order No. 25-AO-0002-P.
