(f) Files-Custody and Withdrawal

All files and records of the court shall remain in the custody of the clerk and no record or paper

belonging to the files of the court shall be taken from the custody of the clerk without a special

order of the court or judge and a proper receipt signed by the person obtaining the record or

paper. No such order will be made except upon urgent grounds stated in a written application for

such order.

(g) Custody and Disposition of Exhibits, Depositions

After being marked for identification, all exhibits, except weapons, drugs, or other sensitive

materials, shall be placed in the custody of the clerk during the duration of the trial, unless

otherwise ordered by the court. Any weapons or other sensitive exhibits shall be held in the

custody of the counsel offering the exhibits during the trial. Upon completion of the trial, all

exhibits shall be returned to counsel offering them, unless otherwise ordered by the court. A

party or his attorney who has custody of an exhibit shall keep it available for the use of the court

or an appellate court, and shall grant the reasonable request of any party to examine or reproduce

the exhibit for use in the proceeding. This obligation shall continue until any appeal has been

finally resolved or time for filing a notice of appeal or petition for writ of certiorari has expired.

Unless an extension of time is obtained from the court on a showing of good cause, in any action

seeking review of a final decision of an administrative agency, the record of the agency

proceeding shall be filed (1) within thirty days of the filing of the complaint or petition when the

administrative agency is the plaintiff or petitioner; or (2) with the answer or return when the

administrative agency is the defendant or respondent.

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.
