Scope and Content
This series contains individual documents from miscellaneous case files or entire civil case files which have been ordered sealed by the court pursuant to statute or court rule or otherwise restricted. These documents were removed from the miscellaneous case files during archival processing. By law, records to be sealed are placed in an envelope which is then securely sealed. The court clerk records the case number on the envelope and inscribes across the sealed part of the envelope the words "Records sealed. Not to be opened except upon written order of the court." Sealed records are closed to inspection, except in some cases to the parties. Among the restricted cases are sealed adoption files, sealed and expunged cases often relating to criminal investigations, and private medical files associated with court ordered sterilization or psychiatric examination.
The case files from which the restricted documents were removed are a collection of all documents and actions filed with thecourt clerk in connection with individual court actions. They document the legal process and the administration of justice in conjunction with miscellaneous cases that do not involve a hearing and generally need only the formality of a judge's signature for approval and thus take up little judicial time. The restricted documents are distinguished from Series 12628, CIVIL CASE FILES (SEALED), 1957-1969, which involve disputed cases wherein issues are more complex and proceedings more protracted.
Gaps in Series
Cases from February 1977 to January 1980 are missing from series 6381, Miscellaneous case files (1940-1992).

Access Restrictions
The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) provides that judicial records may be restricted under the rules of criminal or civil procedure (UCA 63-2- 301 [1] [f]. A party to an action may petition the court to expunge or seal case records. Among the sealed records are documents relinquishing newborn children for adoption, generally out of state. The Salt Lake County Clerk was ordered that "all files wherein orders of adoption have been or will hereafter be made be sealed and shall remain sealed except for opening by a specific order of the court" (order of Judge Joseph G. Jeppson entered in the Miscellaneous File Registers of Actions, volume 3, page 151, on May 27, 1966). Adoption petitions, written reports, and any documents filed in connection with an adoption hearing are to be sealed according to UCA 78-30-15.??Documents pertaining to court-ordered sterilization or psychiatric examination fall under the provisions of UCA 63-2-302(1)(b) making medical records private.
