The California Cover Sheet for Confidential Information is a form used to protect confidential information, such as trade secrets or privileged communications, from public disclosure. The form is required by the California Code of Civil Procedure section 2019.210, and is typically used to accompany court filings that contain confidential information. It is important to note that the California Cover Sheet for Confidential Information is not a substitute for a motion to seal a court record. The California Cover Sheet for Confidential Information is divided into two sections. The first section is for the filer's information, such as name, address, and telephone number. The second section is for the information of the document or filing that contains confidential information. This includes the title of the document, case number, and the type of confidential information. The California Cover Sheet for Confidential Information can be used for a variety of documents, including petitions, motions, briefs, orders, and judgments. It can also be used for documents that contain personal or financial information, such as tax returns, bank statements, and credit reports. There are two types of California Cover Sheet for Confidential Information: the original form and the amended form. The original form must be filed with the court before any confidential information can be disclosed. The amended form is used to update the information if changes occur after the original form has been filed.
