The Massachusetts Affidavit in Support of Motion to Impound is a legal document used by a party to a legal proceeding to request that certain evidence in the case be sealed or otherwise restricted from public disclosure. The Affidavit is filed with the court along with a motion to impound, which is a request that the court order the sealing or restriction of evidence. This is typically done in order to protect private information or to prevent the dissemination of sensitive information that could be damaging to a party’s reputation. The Massachusetts Affidavit in Support of Motion to Impound is divided into two parts. The first part is the affidavit itself, which contains a sworn statement from the party filing the motion that the evidence in question should be impounded. The affidavit must explain why the party believes that the evidence should be sealed or otherwise restricted from public disclosure. The second part of the affidavit is the supporting memorandum, which provides the court with additional information to support the motion. There are two types of Massachusetts Affidavit in Support of Motion to Impound: (1) an affidavit in support of a motion to impound a record or document and (2) an affidavit in support of a motion to impound evidence in a criminal case.
