Availability of Audio Files of Court Proceedings on the Public Docket

Digital recordings of court proceedings will be made available on the public docket as a convenience. These recordings will not be considered the official record for any purpose; however, counsel may refer to the minute and seconds of an audio recording in their briefings before this Court but not for purposes of appeal or impeachment at an evidentiary hearing. If an individual requires an official record of a hearing for any purpose, a transcript must be ordered using the appropriate procedure. It is the responsibility of each party and/or their counsel to notify the Court and courtroom deputy of their desire to restrict audio from the public docket during or before the court proceeding.
