Confidentiality Order (Mag. Judge Marutollo)

CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER. This form, a Confidentiality Order, is used in legal proceedings within the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York to govern the treatment of confidential information. The order specifies the types of documents and information that may be designated as confidential, including sensitive commercial data, personal data, medical and legal records, and non-public criminal history. It outlines the process for designating documents as confidential, including marking them as such and treating deposition transcripts accordingly. The order limits access to confidential documents to attorneys, parties, experts, witnesses, court personnel, and other necessary individuals, all of whom must agree to be bound by the confidentiality terms. It also addresses inadvertent disclosure, disputes over confidentiality designations, and procedures for filing documents under seal. Finally, it stipulates that confidential materials must be returned or destroyed after litigation and allows the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the order. www.FormsWorkflow.com
