S.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 39.1
Custody of Trial and Hearing Exhibits
(a) Unless the court orders otherwise, trial and hearing exhibits must not be filed with
the clerk but must be retained in the custody of the respective attorneys who
produced them in court.
(b) Trial and hearing exhibits that have been filed with the clerk must be removed by
the party responsible for them (1) if no appeal is taken, within 90 days after a final
decision is rendered, or (2) if an appeal has been taken, within 30 days after the
final disposition of the appeal. Parties failing to comply with this rule will be
notified by the clerk to remove their exhibits and upon their failure to do so within
30 days, the clerk may dispose of the exhibits as the clerk may see fit.
