Request To Seal Or Make Case Records Confidential {TF-800}

TF-800 - REQUEST TO MAKE CASE RECORDS CONFIDENTIAL OR SEALED UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE RULE 37.6. Under Alaska law, court case records are public unless an Alaska Statute or court rule requires that they be made confidential or sealed. If your case is public, you may use this form to ask a judge to make your case—or specific records within the case—confidential or sealed. The judge must find that the public interest in access to court records is outweighed by at least one of the following: (1) risk of injury to individuals, (2) individual privacy rights and interests, (3) proprietary business information, (4) the deliberative process, or (5) public safety. The judge must also find that your interest in confidentiality is distinguishable from the confidentiality interests of parties in similar case types to yours. If the entire case is sealed or made confidential, then the case will be removed from the public index (CourtView), and the court file will be unavailable to the public. If only specific records are sealed or made confidential, then the case will remain on public CourtView, but those specific records will be unavailable to the public. Note: If you believe your case should automatically be confidential or sealed by statute or rule, and that your case is listed on public CourtView by mistake, use form TF-810 instead. Time Limit: You may only make this request (1) when you first open your case, (2) while the case is still open, or (3) if it has been less than 90 days since the case was closed. If your case was reopened after being closed, this request will only apply to records filed or created since the case was reopened. Filing Instructions: File this request with the Clerk’s Office at your local trial court. www.FormsWorkflow.com
