[CNYBBA-LISTSERV] federal rules

[Lynn Harper Wilson]

"On December 1, 2007, the amendments to the Federal Rules of Appellate,
Bankruptcy, Civil, and Criminal Procedure that implement the E-Government
Act of 2002 become effective. The amendment to Appellate Rule 25, and new
Bankruptcy Rule 9037, Civil Rule 5.2, and Criminal Rule 49.1 require that
personal identification information be redacted from documents filed with
the court - individuals' Social Security and taxpayer identification
numbers, names of minor children, financial account numbers, dates of birth,
and, in criminal cases, home addresses. A memorandum briefly describing the
new privacy rules, the text of the rules and committee notes, and additional
information contained in the excerpt reports of the Rules Committees are
posted" here:
