History

2013; amended March 13, 2018; abrogated December 1, 2022] [Adopted effective February 1, 1991; amended September 24, 2009; amended May 14, 2022 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 9.1 Local Rule 9.1 was abrogated as unnecessary following amendments to LR 7.2, which now includes direction to plaintiffs concerning the filing of the social security number in cases brought under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The rule number is reserved for possible future use. 2018 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 9.1 Local Rule 9.1 formerly required that a plaintiff suing the Commissioner of Social Security under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) serve and file both the complaint and the plaintiff’s social security number. Under the amended rule, only the complaint must be both served and filed; the plaintiff's social security number must be served but not filed. Plaintiffs should bear in mind that, under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i), the complaint and the plaintiff’s social security number must be served on both the Commissioner and the United States Attorney's Office. 2013 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 9.1 The language of LR 9.1 has been amended in accordance with the restyling process described in the 2012 Advisory Committee’s Preface on Stylistic Amendments. A new provision, subsection (b), has been added to clarify that the required paper containing the worker’s social security number will be filed under seal. 1991 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 9.1 See LR 7.2 for motion practice in Social Security cases.
