No person, other than an employee of this Court in the exercise of official duty,
may withdraw any original pleading, paper, record, model or exhibit from the
custody of the Clerk of this Court or other employee of this Court having custody
thereof, except upon written order of a judge of this Court, and upon leaving a
proper receipt with the Clerk of this Court or employee.
(B) Public Access
(1) Electronic access to the electronic docket and to documents filed in the
System is available for viewing to the public at no charge at the Clerk’s
Office during regular business hours. A copy fee for an electronic
reproduction is required in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1930. Public
remote electronic access to the System for viewing purposes is limited to
subscribers to the PACER system, which charges a user fee for remotely
accessing certain detailed case information. Conventional copies and
certified copies of electronically filed documents may be purchased by the
public at the Clerk’s Office. The fee for copying and certifying will be in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1914.
(2) An exception to the prohibition on general public remote access is possible
in a high-profile criminal case where the demand for documents may
impose extraordinary demands on the Court’s resources. The Court is
authorized to provide Internet access to documents filed in such a case if all
parties thereto consent and the trial judge finds that such access is warranted.
(C) Conventional Copies
Conventional copies and certified copies of electronically filed documents may be
purchased by the public at the Clerk’s Office. The fee for copying and certifying
will be in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1914.
