(1) Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the government must provide a least
one (1) copy of all recordings in its possession that are discoverable for
examination and review by the defendant parties.
(2) If in a multi-defendant case any defendant is in custody, the government must
ensure that an extra copy of all recordings is available for review by the
defendant(s) in custody.
(b) Composite Recordings, Preliminary Transcripts, and Final Transcripts.

material respects and it is in the interest of the administration of justice to use
it.
(3) Final transcripts, once prepared.
(c) Nothing in this Local Rule shall be construed to require a party to prepare composite
tapes, or preliminary or final transcripts, of any recording.
