Conn. Practice Book § 7-4C

(a) A ‘‘lodged’’ record is a record that is temporarily placed or deposited with the court but not

filed.

(b) A party who moves to file a record under

seal or to limit its disclosure shall put the record in

a manila envelope or other appropriate container,

seal the envelope or container, and lodge it with

the court.

(c) The party submitting the lodged record must

affix to the envelope or container a cover sheet

that contains the case caption and docket number,

the words ‘‘Conditionally Under Seal,’’ the name

of the party submitting the record and a statement

that the enclosed record is subject to a motion to

file the record under seal.

(d) Upon receipt of a record lodged under this

section, the clerk shall note on the affixed cover

sheet the date of its receipt and shall retain but

not file the record unless the court orders it filed.

(e) If the judicial authority grants the motion

to seal the record or to limit its disclosure, the

clerk shall prominently place on the envelope or

container in bold letters the words ‘‘Sealed by

Order of the Court on (Date)’’ or ‘‘Disclosure

Limited by Order of the Court on (Date),’’ as

appropriate, and shall affix to the envelope or container a copy of the court’s order and the public redacted version of the motion. If the judicial

authority denies the motion and the submitting

party requests in writing that the record be retained

as a lodged record, the clerk shall prominently

place on the envelope or container in bold letters

the words ‘‘Motion Denied, Retain as Lodged

Record’’ and shall affix to the envelope or container a copy of the court’s order and the public

redacted version of the motion.
