Rule 8 - Non-public Filings(a)Overview. Parties may not submit filings containing information that is designated as non-public by federal or state law, court rule, court order or case law and/or which contain Personal Identifying Information as part of a public document. With the exception of in camera reviews when necessary, the courts will not review each document to ensure compliance with this rule and are not responsible or liable for the inclusion of such information in an electronically filed document. Case types, documents, and/or information which are deemed to be non-public are identified in the Rhode Island Judiciary Provisional Rules of Practice Governing Public Access to Electronic Case Information.(b)Documents Containing Non-public Information:(1)Redaction. When documents containing non-public and/or Personal Identifying Information are necessary for the adjudication of the case, it is the responsibility of the filing party to ensure that non-public information or personally identifiable information is appropriately redacted prior to filing.(2)Submission of Non-public Filing with the Court. If the court requires access to the non-public information which was redacted from the original filing, a separate, non-public version of the document containing the un-redacted information shall be simultaneously filed.(3)Exchange of Non-public Information with Other Party. If the un-redacted information must be provided to another party in the case but is not needed by the court, the information may be provided separately to that party. Following such submission, the filing party shall file a certification with the court that the non-public information has been provided.(4)Access. A document marked or submitted as ''confidential'' in the EFS, non-public, will be accessible only to the parties and/or attorneys in the case, court staff, and where applicable, to certain governmental entities as authorized by law, court rule or court order.(5)Review. Upon motion, a court may consider any matter relating to the redaction and/or the filing of non-public documents in the EFS in a case before the court.(c)Sealed Documents:(1)Submission. A party seeking to designate a document as sealed upon filing shall assert the basis for the sealed submission in a motion. Neither the motion to seal nor the document in question shall be entered in the case or docketed until the motion to seal has been ruled upon by the court.(2)Access. A document marked or submitted as ''sealed'' will be accessible only to the court and court staff with the highest security level clearance. Sealed Documents may not be accessible to other parties or the public without a court order.
