in such form and manner as the administrative director of
courts may prescribe, a record of every final judgment or
order.
(c) Civil Calendar. The clerk shall prepare a calendar

shall also keep such other books and records as may be
required from time to time by the administrative director of the

otherwise provided by these rules or by order of the court, no

for a judge, master, examiner, magistrate judge, or court
reporter to use pleadings or other papers for purposes of the
action or proceeding, at places other than the clerk’s office,
courtroom or judge’s chambers, the same may be taken from
the office of the clerk upon the delivery to the clerk of a receipt
signed by the officer who desires the use of said papers.
(g) Records After Final Determination.
(1) After final judgment and after the time has passed for
taking an appeal or filing a petition for review, all models,
diagrams, exhibits and depositions heretofore or hereafter filed
in any action, shall be returned to the submitting party, without
the necessity of filing any copies thereof.
(2) After final judgment, and upon the filing of a
stipulation waiving and abandoning the right to appeal, to
petition for review, or to move for a new trial, all such models,
diagrams, exhibits and depositions may be withdrawn from the
clerk’s office by the submitting party, without the necessity of
filing any copies thereof.
(3) If such models, diagrams, exhibits, and depositions
are not so returned or withdrawn as above indicated, the clerk
shall destroy the same or make such other disposition of them
as the court may approve.
(4) Nothing contained in this subdivision (g) of this rule
shall prevent the court, for special reasons and after notice,
from making such other order with respect to any files, models,
exhibits and depositions as it may deem advisable.
(h) Documents Presented Ex Parte. Every document
presented by counsel to the court ex parte in support of an
order, when signed by the court, will be deemed to be in the
custody of the court. Each such document shall forthwith be
delivered by counsel presenting the same to the clerk for filing,
unless the judge or the judge’s secretary desires to retain any
such document in chambers for delivery by such judge or the
judge’s secretary to the clerk.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
