IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA 

LOCAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 5.1.5: 

DOCUMENTS FILED UNDER SEAL 

(a) A document in a civil action may be filed under seal only if: 

(1) the civil action is brought pursuant to a federal statute that prescribes the sealing of the 

record or of certain specific documents; or 

(2) the Court orders the document sealed. 

(b) 

(1) Where a document is sealed pursuant to ' 5.1.5(a)(1), the continued status of the 

document under seal shall be governed by the relevant federal statute. If no federal 

statute governs, ' 5.1.5(b)(2) and (c) shall apply. 

(2) When a document is sealed pursuant to ' 5.1.5(a)(2), the document, if it remains in the 

custody of the Court, shall not be unsealed for two years after the conclusion of the civil 

action including all appeals, unless the Court orders otherwise. 

 

(c) If a document is still sealed at the conclusion of the two- year period and the Court has not 

entered an order continuing its sealed status beyond that time, the Clerk of Court shall notify the 

attorney for the party having submitted the sealed document at the attorney's address on the 

docket that the document will be unsealed unless the attorney or the submitting party advises the 

Clerk within sixty (60) days that said attorney or submitting party objects. If the attorney or 

submitting party objects to the unsealing of the document or if the Clerk's notification is returned 

unclaimed, the Court will make a determination, on a case-by-case basis, whether to maintain the 

document under seal, to unseal it, or to require further notification.
