S.D. Iowa LR 79
Official Court Record, Docketing and Transcripts
a. Official Case Files. The official court record for all cases is the following:
1. The electronic files maintained in the ECF system;
2. Filings maintained by the Clerk of Court in paper form that are not part of the ECF system;
and
3. Exhibits and other materials filed with or delivered to the court and maintained by the Clerk
of Court in paper form as part of the official court files.
b. The Docket. The Clerk of Court will ensure the accuracy of all docket entries in the court’s
files.
c. Transcripts. A rough draft transcript or any portion thereof is not the official transcript of any
court proceeding. Rough draft transcripts of proceedings may not be quoted from, filed with
the court, or otherwise relied upon to establish to the court the contents of testimony or other
statements made during a court proceeding. Absent prior court authorization, counsel must not
quote from or display unedited transcripts during proceedings or attach them to any briefs or
exhibits filed with the court.

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.
