Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 107(a), with limited exceptions, bankruptcy files are public records and open to examination by an entity at reasonable times without charge. Under the Case Management / Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) Program, the full text of documents that are either filed electronically or filed in paper form and scanned into the ECF database, including documents in adversary proceedings and Orders of the Court, may be viewed via the Internet by any party holding a PACER login and password. The Court anticipates that the full text of all documents filed after March 1, 2001, in both adversary proceedings and bankruptcy cases, will be available via the Internet. As provided in 11 U.S.C. § 107(b) and Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9018, the Court will consider any motion for protective order or motion to seal documents on its individual merits.
