Greenup Circuit Court Sealing & Redaction Procedures

CRITICAL

When personal identifiers are required or included in covered filings, parties must file a redacted copy and a marked, sealed unredacted copy; access to the sealed copy is limited to authorized persons, and the rule defines personal identifiers.

However, except as set forth in paragraph B below, where personal identifiers are required by statute or contained in other documents or exhibits filed with the Court pursuant to the above-stated chapters, parties shall comply with CR 7.03(1)(b) by filing one copy from which any personal data has been redacted and filing an un redacted copy in a marked and sealed envelope. The Clerk of the Court shall allow the unredacted sealed copy of the pleading, document, or exhibit containing personal identifiers to be accessed only by a party to the case, an attorney of record in the case, a Judge of the Court or other authorized Court personnel, a duly authorized employee or agent of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services involved in child support matters attendant to the case, or a person authorized to view the copy by specific orders of the Court. As used in this section, "personal identifier" means a Social Security number or taxpayer identification number, date of birth or financial account number.
