Use of Exhibits at Trial

(a) Exhibit List. At the beginning of trial, counsel shall provide copies of a typewritten Exhibit List for Trial/Hearing (Form CV-16a), available on the Court’s website, listing the exhibits they plan to introduce, designated by trial exhibit numbers, in compliance with the Procedure for Submitting Witness and Exhibit Lists to the Court, also available on the Court’s website, so long as providing the list is consistent with the applicable Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and does not violate or jeopardize the constitutional rights of the defendant. (b) Exhibits. Each exhibit anticipated to be offered into evidence should be marked with an exhibit number and case number before trial.

(c) Withdrawal. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, all exhibits introduced in evidence in the trial of the case shall be withdrawn at the close of trial and remain in the custody of the party introducing the evidence. The Court may order the party introducing exhibits which are bulky, heavy, firearms, or controlled substances to retain custody of such exhibits during the trial. Any such order shall provide for preservation of the exhibit as justice may require.

(d) Photographs for Appeal. Exhibits, diagrams, charts, and drawings may, under the supervision of the Court, be photographed for use on appeal or otherwise.
