W.D. Okla. LCrR49.1.1
Redaction of Official Transcripts Prior to Remote Electronic Availability
(a) Responsibility for Identifying Personal Data Identifiers to be Redacted
from Transcripts. Once an official transcript is filed with the court clerk, the attorneys
in the case and pro se parties are responsible for identifying the personal data identifiers
that must be redacted from filings pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 49.1. Unless otherwise
ordered by the court, the attorney for a party and each pro se party are responsible for
identifying redactions required in the following portions of the transcript:
(1) opening and closing statements made on that party’s behalf;
(2) statements of the party;
(3) the testimony of any witnesses called by the party; and
(4) sentencing proceedings.
The court may also direct that an attorney or pro se party be responsible for identifying
redactions in other portions of an official transcript.
(b) Redaction Request. To request redaction of personal data identifiers from
an official transcript, the attorney or pro se party must file a redaction request, using the
form in Appendix VII, within 21 days of the filing of the transcript. The request shall
identify the redactions to be made with respect to:
(1) Social Security numbers and taxpayer-identification numbers: use
only the last four digits;
(2) financial account numbers: use only the last four digits;
(3) dates of birth: use only the year;
(4) a minor’s name: redact in the manner that most effectively shields
the identity of the minor in the context of the proceeding; and
(5) home address: use only the city and state.
(c) Request for Additional Redactions. For any redactions to a transcript
other than the personal data identifiers listed above, a separate Motion for Redaction must
be filed within 21 days of the filing of the transcript, unless otherwise ordered by the
court.
(d) Stand-By Counsel. An attorney appointed as “stand-by” counsel for a
party is responsible for identifying and requesting on behalf of that party any redactions
of personal data identifiers in the transcript, as required by this rule.
