As amended through November 14, 2024
Rule 90 - Access to Documents Filed With the Court in Civil Miscellaneous Actions(a) Matters docketed as Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.) actions including, but not limited to, guardianships, and associated miscellaneous petitions are confidential and not subject to public disclosure or access by the general public. (1) The confidential treatment of Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.) actions is not subject to the provisions of Rule 5.1 governing public access to documents filed with the Court in Civil Actions.(2) Any person or entity aggrieved by the confidential treatment provisions of this Rule may file a motion with the Court requesting public access to the matter. A copy of such motion shall be served upon any known party to the action. Any party to the action who believes that continued confidential treatment is required shall file a response to the motion within eleven days. After considering the motion and any response thereto, the Court shall determine whether good cause exists to allow public access to all or any portion of the record or the proceedings, notwithstanding the privacy concerns inherent in these fiduciary matters.(b) If the Court issues in a Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.) action an opinion the Court believes may have importance or precedential value to the Bar or the general public, the Court may, to the extent warranted, publish the opinion utilizing pseudonyms or other devices that will remove any indicia of personal identification of the parties or persons involved in the action.
