Updated Procedures for the Filing, Service and Management of Highly Sensitive Documents |
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
IN RE:
UPDATED PROCEDURES FOR THE
FILING, SERVICE, AND MANAGEMENT
OF HIGHLY SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS
GENERAL ORDER
NO. 2024-12
WHEREAS federal courts are updating their security procedures to uniformly
protect highly sensitive documents (“HSDs”), a narrow subset of sealed documents that
must, for their protection, be stored outside the court’s electronic systems;
THE COURT FINDS that, good cause exists to permit nonelectronic filing under
Civil Rule 5(d)(3)(A) and Criminal Rule 49(b)(3)(A), and to adopt the revised HSD
guidance, provided herewith as Attachment A, which includes a standard definition of
HSDs, a dedicated procedure for filing, serving, and maintaining HSDs, and factors to
be considered by judicial officers in determining if a document is an HSD.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, effective as of the date of this
order and until such time as the court orders otherwise, the filing of certain highly
sensitive documents, as defined herein, shall be subject to the procedures and
requirements set forth below. This General Order supersedes any and all inconsistent
provisions in existing local rules, administrative procedures, or other general orders of
this court. It is presumed that documents filed under seal through the court’s current
electronic filing system remain secure, and any party moving to file documents under
this General Order bear the burden to justify such exceptional treatment. This General
2
Order does not limit or preclude the filing of documents under seal (containing
proprietary or confidential information) in accordance with existing procedures.
1. Documents Subject to this Order
The filing procedures set forth below apply to documents that contain highly
sensitive information (“HSI”). Documents containing HSI shall be known as
Highly Sensitive Documents (“HSDs”). An HSD is a document or other material
that contains sensitive, but unclassified, information that warrants exceptional
handling and storage procedures to prevent significant consequences that could
result if such information were obtained or disclosed in an unauthorized way.
Although frequently related to law enforcement materials, especially sensitive
information in a civil case could also qualify for HSD treatment. HSDs vary in
their physical form and characteristics. They may be paper, electronic,
audiovisual, microform, or other media. The term “document” includes all
recorded information, regardless of its physical form or characteristics.
a. HSI does not refer to all sensitive or confidential information. Instead,
HSDs refer only to documents containing information that is likely to be of
interest to the intelligence service of a foreign government and whose use
or disclosure by a hostile foreign government would likely cause significant
harm to the United States or its interests. HSDs include ex parte sealed
filings relating to: national security investigations, cyber investigations, and
especially sensitive public corruption investigations; and documents
containing a highly exploitable trade secret, financial information, or
3
computer source code belonging to a private entity, the disclosure of
which could have significant national or international repercussions.
b. Most materials currently filed under seal do not meet the definition of an
HSD and do not merit the heightened protections afforded to HSDs. The
form or nature of the document, by itself, does not determine whether
HSD treatment is warranted. Instead, the focus is on the severity of the
consequences for the parties, or the public should the document be
accessed without authorization. Applications for search warrants and
applications for interception of wire, oral or electronic communications
under 18 U.S.C. § 2518, including but not limited to applications for pen
registers, trap and trace devices, and wiretaps, may contain HSI but are
not presumptively HSDs. If the filer considers an application under this
section 1.b. to contain HSI, the filer shall file a motion to designate the
document as an HSD as provided in section 2 below.
c. HSDs do not include pretrial release reports, presentence reports or
related documents, pleadings related to cooperation in criminal cases,
social security administrative records, immigration administrative records,
and most sealed documents in civil cases. Unless the documents
identified in this section 1.c. are considered by the filer to contain HSI,
they shall continue to be filed under existing sealing procedures.
d. Any dispute as to whether a document is an HSD shall be resolved by the
presiding judge or, when no presiding judge is assigned, the chief judge. A
4
judge may decide sua sponte to treat any document as an HSD, whether
or not a party has sought such designation.
e. If a document cannot be designated as an HSD, a party retains the ability
to file such a document in the court’s CM/ECF system under seal in
accordance with local rules and administrative procedures.
2. Filing of Motions to Treat a Document as an HSD
a. Any filer seeking to have a document treated as an HSD shall file a sealed
motion to designate a document as an HSD and proposed order in
accordance with the Middle District’s Administrative Procedures for Filing
Electronic Documents, Section II, except that the proposed HSD shall not
be filed electronically. The proposed HSD shall be filed in accordance
with the procedures set forth in section 4.
b. The motion to designate the document as an HSD shall set forth why the
proposed document constitutes an HSD under the criteria set forth in
section 1.a. and 1.b. or why it should otherwise be subject to the
heightened protection for HSDs, including, as appropriate: a summary of
the contents of the document; the nature of the investigation or litigation;
and the potential consequences to the parties, the public, or national
interests, in the event the information contained in the document is
accessed or disseminated without authorization. The motion shall not
disclose any information that divulges any HSI. The motion must also be
accompanied by a certification of the movant’s good-faith belief that the
material meets the HSD definition.
5
c. The court will issue an order on the motion and, if granted, an
informational entry will be made on the case docket indicating that the
HSD has been filed with the court. The order will identify the persons who
are to have access to the documents without further order of the court and
will set forth instructions for the duration of HSD treatment or if the
designation shall be revisited by the judicial officer within a certain period
of time. The clerk’s office will maintain the HSD in a secure paper filing
system or a secure standalone computer system that is not connected to
any network.
3. Service of Highly Sensitive Court Orders
If the court determines that a court order contains highly sensitive information,
the clerk’s office will file and maintain the order in a secure paper filing system or
a secure standalone computer system that is not connected to any network and
will serve paper copies of the order on the parties via mail.
4. Procedures for Conventionally Filing an HSD
a. Within 3 business days of filing the motion to designate a document as an
HSD, the filing party shall deliver to the clerk’s office (in-person or via U.S.
Mail) the proposed HSD and certificate of service (if required by statute or
rule), plus two copies. If the proposed HSD is voluminous (over 20
megabytes), the filing party may motion the court for permission to submit
the proposed HSD to the clerk’s office via secure alternative media
deemed acceptable by the clerk’s office.
6
b. The upper right portion of the document’s case caption shall include the
designation of “SEALED” and “HSD”.
c. If submitted in person, the required documents, unfolded, shall be
submitted to the clerk’s office in a sealed envelope marked “HIGHLY
SENSITIVE DOCUMENT.” The outside of the envelope shall be affixed
with a copy of the HSD’s caption page (with confidential information
redacted). In the case of a voluminous exhibit submitted to the clerk’s
office after receiving leave of court as set forth in section 4.a., the media
itself must be labeled and then placed inside a sealed opaque envelope
marked “HIGHLY SENSITIVE DOCUMENT.”
d. If submitted by U.S. mail, the required documents shall be packaged as
set forth in section 4.c., except that the package must be placed in an
additional sealed opaque envelope that does not provide any indication of
the envelope’s contents.
e. If a statute or rule requires service of a motion filed under section 2.a. on
opposing parties, the proposed HSD shall be served, as follows:
i. Civil cases - by any manner specified in Civil Rule 5(b)(2), except
for service via the court’s electronic filing system; or
ii. Criminal cases - by any manner specified in Criminal Rule 49
(a)(3)(B) or (a)(4).
f. The clerk’s office will make an informational docket entry in the court’s
electronic filing system indicating that the HSD was filed with the court and
7
will maintain the HSD in a secure paper filing system or a secure
standalone computer system that is not connected to any network.
5. Removal of Existing HSDs or Highly Sensitive Cases from the Court’s
Electronic Filing System
a. Upon the filing of a motion to remove HSD or HSI by a party (in
accordance with the procedures set forth in section 2.a.) or upon its own
motion, the court may determine that a document, case, or any portion of
it, that has been filed electronically is highly sensitive and direct that the
HSD or case be removed from the court’s electronic filing system and
maintained by the clerk’s office in a secure paper filing system or a secure
standalone computer system that is not connected to any network.
b. A party’s sealed motion to remove a HSD or a highly sensitive case from
the court’s electronic filing system shall identify the specific document
number to be designated as a HSD and set forth why such document or
case is highly sensitive under the criteria set out in section 1.a. or 1.b. or
why it should otherwise be subject to the heightened protection for HSDs.
The motion shall not disclose any information that divulges any HSI.
6. Safeguarding Internal Communication
The court will take care in internal court communications regarding HSDs,
including notes and pre-decisional materials, not to include the protected
substance of HSDs in any communication using the internet or a computer
connected to a network.
8
7. Questions about HSD Filing Procedures
Any questions about how an HSD should be filed with the court pursuant to this
General Order should be directed to the clerk’s office at (225) 389-3500.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this ____ day of July 2024.

CHIEF UNITED STATES JUDGE
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA 29th
S
HIGHLY SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS DEFINITION & GUIDANCE
1 Highly Sensitive Documents (HSDs) are a narrow subset of sealed
documents that must, for their protection, be stored offline. The added protection
for HSDs is important because, in the event of a breach of the courts’ electronic
case management system by a sophisticated actor, those documents are more
likely to be sought out and stolen, or their unauthorized access or exposure are
likely to have outsized consequences beyond that of most sealed documents, or
both.
The following definition and guidance are intended to assist courts in
identifying highly sensitive documents and managing the offline handling of
HSDs. This guidance does not apply to classified information, which should be
handled according to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) and the
Chief Justice’s Security Procedures related thereto, 18 U.S.C. app 3 §§ 1, 9(a).
1
D Definition: A Highly Sensitive Document (HSD) is a document or other
material that contains sensitive, but unclassified, information that warrants
exceptional handling and storage procedures to prevent significant consequences
that could result if such information were obtained or disclosed in an unauthorized
way. Although frequently related to law enforcement materials, especially
sensitive information in a civil case could also quali Iy for HSD treatment.
L Examples of HSDs: Examples include ex parte sealed filings
relating to: national security investigations, cyber investigations, and
especially sensitive public corruption investigations; and documents
containing a highly exploitable trade secret, financial information, or
computer source code belonging to a private entity, the disclosure of
which could have significant national or international repercussions.
L L Exclusions: Most materials currently filed under seal do not meet
the definition of an HSD and do not merit the heightened protections
afforded to HSDs. The form or nature of the document, by itself,
1 The Chief Justice’s Security Procedures (criminal prosecutions) and the Department of
Justice (DOJ) regulation 28 C.F.R. § 17.17(c) (civil actions) govern classified information in any
form in the custody of a court. Such classified information may not be filed on CM/ECF or any
other court network or standalone computer system. Courts are assisted in their protection of
classified information by classified information security officers, who are detailed to the courts by
the DOJ’s Litigation Security Group, a unit independent of the attorneys representing the
government. Courts should direct questions regarding how to handle classified documents to the
DOJ’s Litigation Security Group. See also, Robert Timothy Reagan, Keeping Government
Secrets: A Pocket Guide on the State-Secrets Privilege, the Classified Information Procedures
Act and Classified Information Security Officers, (Federal Judicial Center, 2d ed. 2013).
Attachment A
HIGHLY SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS DEFINITION & GUIDANCE
2 does not determine whether HSD treatment is warranted. Instead,
the focus is on the severity of the consequences for the parties or the
public should the document be accessed without authorization. Most
presentence reports, pretrial release reports, pleadings related to
cooperation in criminal cases, social security records, administrative
immigration records, applications for search warrants, interception
of wire, oral, or electronic communications under 18 U.S.C. § 2518,
and applications for pen registers, trap, and trace devices would not
meet the HSD definition.
(b)HSDs: Sources and Characteristics
i. HSD designation may be requested by a party in a criminal, civil,
appellate, or bankruptcy matter.
ii. HSDs vary in their physical form and characteristics. They may be
paper, electronic, audiovisual, microform, or other media. The term
“document” includes all recorded information, regardless of its
physical form or characteristics.
iii. An opinion or order entered by the court related to an HSD may
itself constitute an HSD, if it reveals sensitive information in the
HSD.
iv. An HSD in the lower court’s record will ordinarily be also regarded
by an appellate court as an HSD.
(c)HSD Designation:
i. A court’s standing order, general order, or equivalent directive
should include the HSD definition set forth in (a) above and outline
procedures for requesting, filing, and maintaining HSDs.
ii. The onus is on the party, including the Department of Justice and
other law enforcement agencies, to identify for the court those
documents that the party believes qualify as HSDs and the basis for
that belief. In moving for HSD treatment, the filing party must
articulate why HSD treatment is warranted, including, as
appropriate: the contents of the document; the nature of the
investigation or litigation; and the potential consequences to the
parties, the public, or national interests, in the event the information
contained in the document is accessed or disseminated without
authorization.
HIGHLY SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS DEFINITION & GUIDANCE
3 iii.Ju
dicial Determination:
A. The presiding judge (or, when no presiding judge is available,
the chief judge) should determine whether a document meets the
HSD definition by evaluating whether a party has properly
articulated sufficient reasons for such treatment, including the
consequences for the matter, should the document be exposed. Most
applications for HSD treatment are likely to be ex parte, but the
presiding judge should resolve any disputes about whether a
document qualifies as an HSD as defined in (a) above. The fact that
a document may contain sensitive, proprietary, confidential,
personally identifying, or financial information about an entity or an
individual, that may justify sealing of the document or case, does not
alone qualify the document as an HSD.
B. In making this determination, the court should consider properly
articulated concerns that the unauthorized access or disclosure of the
information contained in the document at issue would result in
significant adverse consequences that outweigh the administrative
burden of handling the document as an HSD. As a general matter,
courts should give careful and appropriate consideration to the
concerns articulated by the executive branch in matters implicating
the authority of the executive branch to oversee the military and
safeguard national security. If relevant, the court has the discretion
to consider the impact of the heightened protection provided by
offline placement to any other party’s right of access.
(d)Exceptional Administrative Treatment for HSDs:
i.Filing: HSDs and requests for HSD treatment will be accepted for
filing only in paper form or via a secure electronic device (e.g., USB
stick or portable hard drive).
ii.Handling: The court must handle the HSDs by storing all
information offline. Furthermore, any pleadings or other filings
created in connection with the proceedings should not disclose the
subject matter of the HSD (including information that may identify
the place, object, or subject of an ex parte filing).
iii.Docketing: Docket entries for HSDs should not include personal or
other identifying details related to or contained within them. For
example:
8/25/22 [no link] SYSTEM ENTRY-Docket Entry 92
Restricted until further notice (Entered 8/25/22).
HIGHLY SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS DEFINITION & GUIDANCE
4
iv. Storing: HSDs shall be stored and handled only in a secure paper
filing system, or an encrypted external hard drive attached to an air-
gapped system (i.e., entirely disconnected from networks and
systems, including a court unit’s local area network and the
judiciary’s network).
v. Safeguarding Internal Communication: Care should also be taken in
judicial communications regarding HSDs, including notes and pre-
decisional materials, not to include the protected substance of HSDs in any
communication using the internet or a computer network.
(e)
Duration of HSD Treatment: HSDs are stored temporarily or
permanently offline as the situation requires. When designating a document as an
HSD, courts should indicate when the designation will automatically lapse or
when the designation should be revisited by the judicial officer. HSDs should be
migrated as sealed documents to the court’s electronic docketing system and
unsealed, as appropriate, as soon as the situation allows. |

declared a State of Emergency. On March 13, 2020 the President of the United States

UNITED ST A TES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
ORDER
GENERAL ORDER
No. 2018-
1
Effective August 1, 2018, the Court will allow credentialed members of the media to bring
the following electronic devices into the Courthouse and Courtrooms: laptops with silent
keyboards, tablets, and smart phones ("electronic devices").
In order to be considered a credentialed member of the media, an individual who is either
employed by a news agency or is self-employed must submit an application for a Media
Identification Card and, subsequently, be approved for said Media Identification Card. The Court
reserves the right to perform a background check and due diligence examination on issues that
would bear directly on the subject matter at hand for each applicant for a Media Identification
Card. Should either result in the rejection of credentials, the applicant will be given the opportunity
to discuss the reasons for said rejection with the Coutt's Media Liaison, in an effort to determine
if a reversal of the rejection is necessary.
The Clerk of Court shall maintain the list of all eligible credentialed members of the media
and shall provide said list to the United States Marshal's Service and Court Security Officers for
use during building entry screening. All credentialed media members shall wear their Court-issued
Media Identification card upon entry and throughout their duration in the Courthouse.
Nonverbal use of electronic devices shall be permitted, provided they are silent and do not
create any disturbances. The presiding Judge in the coLuiroom is authorized to determine whether
2
use of an electronic device is disruptive to the proceeding at hand and to direct its discontinuance
if found to be disruptive.
Violation of this Administrative Order and/or related Local Rules 83( c )(9) and 83( c )(10)
will require the immediate deletion of the offending material from the media member's device.
Furthermore, any such violations will result in the suspension and/or revocation of the credentialed
media member's Court-issued Media Identification Card. Ultimately, the Chief Judge shall have
the discretion to issue the appropriate sanction for said violations.
Photographs, video, and audio recordings will not be allowed unless and until the rules of
the Judicial Conference change to permit them. Any person who is found to be recording visually
or audibly any proceeding in the Cou1thouse, or photographing same may be subject to a contempt
proceeding and/or any additional remedy or penalty provided by statute in order to enforce the
rules of the Judicial Conference.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
