11th Cir. R. 11-3
Preparation and Transmission of Exhibits - Duties of District Court Clerk
The
clerk of the district court is responsible for transmitting with the record to the clerk of this court a
list of exhibits correspondingly numbered and identified with reasonable definiteness. The district
court clerk must include in the electronic record on appeal electronic versions of all documentary
exhibits admitted into evidence at trial or any evidentiary hearing. The district court clerk must
ensure that no such documentary exhibits are returned to the parties before electronic versions of
those exhibits have been entered into the electronic record on appeal.
If any documentary exhibits have been sealed or marked confidential by the district court or the
district court clerk, the district court clerk must transmit any such sealed or confidential documentary
exhibits to this court either in their original form or in electronic form provided the electronic access
is appropriately restricted, unless otherwise directed by the clerk of this court. If audio or video files
were entered into evidence at trial or any evidentiary hearing, such files and any transcripts must be
retained by the district court clerk during the period in which a notice of appeal may be timely filed
and transmitted to this court as part of the record on appeal. However, the district court clerk must
not transmit to this court any exhibits containing child pornography unless requested to do so by the
clerk of this court.
As to non-documentary physical exhibits, the parties are required to include photographs or other
reproductions of such exhibits in the electronic record on appeal. The parties may submit such
photographs or other reproductions in paper or electronic form. The district court clerk must make
advance arrangements with the clerk of this court prior to sending any exhibit containing wiring or
electronic components (such as a beeper, cellular phone, etc.). Exhibits of unusual size or weight
which are contained in a box larger than 14 3/4" x 12" x 9 1/2" shall not be transmitted by the district
court clerk until and unless directed to do so by the clerk of this court. A party must make advance
arrangements with the clerks for the transportation and receipt of exhibits of unusual size or weight.
If transmittal has been authorized, a party may be requested to personally transfer oversized exhibits
to the clerk of this court.
