ORAP 3.25
EXHIBITS
(1) Exhibits designated as part of the record on appeal shall not be transmitted to the
appellate court unless requested by the Administrator. The Administrator will request transmittal
of documentary exhibits when it requests transmittal of the trial court file under ORAP 3.15(2),
or sooner if requested by a party. The Administrator will request transmittal of a
nondocumentary exhibit only if requested to do so by a party to the appeal or at the direction of
the court. A party wishing to have one or more nondocumentary exhibits transmitted to the
appellate court shall notify the Administrator by letter specifying the exhibit or exhibits to be
transmitted. The letter shall be submitted to the Administrator no later than the date of filing of
that party's brief and shall be copied to all other parties to the appeal.
(2) When the appellate court requests transmittal of documentary exhibits, the trial
court administrator promptly shall transmit the documentary exhibits to the appellate court in a
single envelope, so far as practicable, and shall note thereon or, if no envelope is used, on a
separate list, the number and description of all exhibits being transmitted, with notations
indicating those received and those not received in evidence.
(3) Notwithstanding a party's request for nondocumentary exhibits pursuant to
subsection (1) of this rule, the trial court administrator need not transmit exhibits which are
bulky, dangerous or difficult to transmit or store, such as machinery, firearms, clothing,
narcotics, chemicals, money, or jewelry, unless a party in its request to the Administrator
identifies the exhibit with particularity and requests that the Administrator arrange to have the
exhibit transmitted to the appellate court. The trial court administrator shall make appropriate
notation of retained exhibits on the exhibit list.
(4) If a party fails to comply with UTCR 6.120(2) requiring return of documentary
exhibits within 21 days after receipt of the trial court's request, following the filing of a notice of
appeal by any party, the appellate court may order that the appeal proceed without consideration
of that party's exhibits.
(5) For purposes of this rule, "documentary exhibits" include text documents,
photographs and maps, if not oversized, and audio and video recordings. An oversized document
is one larger than standard letter size or legal size.
