On September 29, 2025, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma issued a general order outlining new procedures regarding the service, access, and management of sealed and restricted documents. A link to the General Order is below:
Under these new procedures, sealed documents will continue to be filed in CM/ECF under the Court’s existing procedures.
However, once filed, sealed documents will no longer be accessible or viewable electronically through CM/ECF to the filer or other litigants. Service of sealed documents must be made outside of CM/ECF as provided by the Federal Rules of Procedure and the Court’s Local Rules. The Court will serve sealed orders and court notices by U.S. mail or in-person pick-up. Persons authorized to view sealed documents may request a copy by contacting the Clerk’s Office.
