(a) Removal of original papers. Original papers in the custody of the clerk shall be
removed from the clerk’s office only upon order of the court, upon terms approved by
the Clerk of Court, provided, however, that judicial officers and their staffs, official
court reporters, special masters or commissioners may remove original papers as
necessary to expedite the business of the court. Persons seeking to remove such papers
shall do so only with approval of the Court.
(b) Exhibits. All exhibits received or marked for identification at any hearing shall be
delivered to the clerk, who shall keep them in his custody. However, any narcotics, cash,
counterfeit notes, weapons, precious stones or other contraband received, and any other
exhibits which because of size or nature require special handling shall remain in
possession of the party introducing the exhibit during the pendency of the action.
(c) After the final determination of any action, counsel shall have 30 days within which to
withdraw exhibits in the clerk’s custody. In the event the exhibits are not so withdrawn,
the clerk shall destroy or otherwise dispose of said exhibits.
