Amendments increase the time a clerk has to unseal a case or document form 14 to 21 days.
In addition, Local Criminal Rule 12-1 – Authority of United States Magistrate Judges – will be renumbered to Local Criminal Rule 58-1 and amended in its entirety. The court notes it is a technical amendment and the local rule will now achieve consistency with Fed. R. Crim. P. 58 – Petty Offenses and Other Misdemeanors.
Local Rule 4-6(i) – Representation of Indigent Litigants – was amended to allow for an attorney to request pre-approval for additional funds to cover expenses in exceptional circumstances.
