[CNYBBA-LISTSERV] privacy of personal information in court documents

[Lynn Harper Wilson]

Occasionally I see a document filed that includes personal information.  For
example, I was just looking an exhibit to a motion that includes a debtor's
and non-filing third party's Social Security numbers.  This information must
be redacted under the new Rule 9037 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure that went into effect on December 1, 2007.  
 
You can get the text of the new rule here:
