When a party files a request for a protected address, the purpose is to keep that party’s home address confidential in court records to protect safety and privacy. The effect is that the address is protected automatically and remains so until the court issues an order to change that status. This means the address won’t appear in the publicly accessible docket or minutes, it isn’t automatically emailed to opposing counsel, and there isn’t a default rule that it becomes public after a set period. The court can later adjust protections if warranted, but the starting point is automatic protection upon filing.
