W.R.Acc.CaseRec. 6
Requests to Access Restricted Case Records
(a) A Case Record that is restricted or excluded from access under these
rules may be made accessible by order of a court having jurisdiction over the
record when the court finds:
(1) The Custodian mistakenly excluded the Case Record from access
under these rules;
(2) Any Party whose interests are intended to be protected from the
restriction have intentionally waived confidentiality where permitted by
law; or
(3) Extraordinary circumstances require deviation from the restriction on
disclosure in order to serve the public interest without creating harm to
those intended to be protected by the restriction.
(b) motion to request access to a Case Record may be made by any party to
a case, any member of the Public, or by the court on its own motion. The motion
shall be filed in the court having jurisdiction over the record.
(c) The movant shall give notice to all parties to the case except as
prohibited by law. The court may require the movant to give notice of the
motion to any individual or entity who is the subject of the information
contained in the Case Record at issue.
(d) The movant has the burden of establishing by clear and convincing
evidence that access is appropriate under one of the justifications listed by
Rule 6(a).

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.
