N.D. Fla. Loc. R. 5.9
Trial and Hearing Exhibits
(A) Tendering and Maintaining Exhibits. An exhibit tendered or received in evidence
during a trial or hearing must be delivered to the Clerk, and the Clerk must maintain
custody of the exhibit, with these exceptions:
(1) the Court may order otherwise;
(2) a sensitive exhibit—such as a weapon, drug, cash, pornography, or thing of
high value—may be retained by the law enforcement agency or party who
offered it, and in that event the agency or party must maintain the integrity of
the exhibit;
(3) the Clerk may release an exhibit temporarily to an assigned judge, the judge’s
staff, or the court reporter.
(B) Retrieving Exhibits After the Litigation. Within 90 days after a case is closed and
all appeals have been exhausted, the party who offered an exhibit must retrieve it
from the Clerk. The Clerk may destroy an exhibit not timely retrieved.
