What if I file a Notice of Confidential Information but the information I want to keep confidential is not one of the 23 categories?

The Clerk will send you a notification within 5 days of the filing of the document that it cannot hold the document confidential because it is not one of the 23 categories in Rule 2.420(d)(1)(B). The Clerk will hold the document confidential for 10 days in accordance with 2.420(d)(2)(B) so that the filer can file a Motion to Determine Confidentiality with the Court. If a motion is not filed within the 10 days, the document that includes the confidential information will become public. If a motion is filed, the Clerk will hold the document confidential pending a court order.
