Rule 2.161 - SEALED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATTERS(1) All documents and matters to be sealed or filed confidentially shall clearly state this in the case caption. Additional caption requirements for sealed documents in civil cases are specified in UTCR 5.160.(2) Although a motion to seal must be filed conventionally pursuant to UTCR 21.070(6)(c), the motion and supporting points and authorities setting forth the legal basis for each designation will be public, and only the designated document or matter will be sealed, if allowed. If desired, supporting documents may be designated as confidential by reflecting this in the caption of each pleading to be filed confidentially. If not related to a motion to seal, documents may be eFiled as confidential pursuant to UTCR 21.070(6)(c).(3) Any motion to seal shall describe the condition or point in time, if any, when the designation of sealed may be removed. Once the condition has been satisfied or the point in time has passed, the party that originally requested the sealed designation must submit a motion and order to unseal the document or matter.(4) A party seeking to file any matter as sealed or confidential shall provide the other parties entitled to view the document a copy prior to submission.(5) In response to a motion to seal a document or matter, unless otherwise restricted by law, a judge may order that the matters be filed confidentially instead of under seal.Umatilla Supp. L.
