EXHIBITS IN EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS - PRODUCTION, RETENTION,

AND CUSTODY THEREOF.

(a) Marking of Exhibits. In an adversary proceeding or a contested matter, counsel (or pro se parties) must mark all trial and hearing exhibits, other than rebuttal exhibits. Unless impracticable and waived by the Court, all documentary exhibits must be prepared in a quantity sufficient to provide paper copies to the Court, each opposing counsel, the examining attorney, and the witness during the trial or hearing. (b) Retention of Exhibits by Attorneys.

The attorney or pro se party who files or introduces exhibits shall retain the physical original of all exhibits until the time for any appeal expires, except as set forth in paragraph (c) below. Revised 12/1/24 Page 86 of 88 (c) Retrieval of Exhibits from the Clerk; Destruction of Abandoned Exhibits. The party introducing an exhibit will be responsible for retrieving it from the Clerk promptly after the time for any appeal expires. If that party fails to do so, the Clerk may destroy or dispose of the exhibit without further notice.

(d) Appeal. If a party appeals an order or judgment, that party must file all exhibits necessary to perfect the appeal as a part of the record on appeal, in such format as the appellate court requires.
