permits to be so filed. The term “document,” as used in this rule, means any pleading,
motion, other paper, or physical item that the Federal Rules of Criminal procedure
permit or required to be filed.
(b) If no statute or rule requires or permits a document to be filed under seal, a
party may file a document under seal only on motion and by permission of the
presiding judge.
(c) When a party files a motion for leave to file a document under seal, the party
may file the motion under seal and must attached the proposed sealed document as an
exhibit. If leave is granted, the sealed document will be deemed filed as of the date of
the order granting leave, or as otherwise specified by the presiding judge, and the clerk
will file a copy of the sealed document.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
