CHECKING ON RECORDS OF CASES REVERSED, REMANDED, VACATED,

REVERSED IN PART AND AFFIRMED IN PART

1.	Call appellant's attorney and tell the attorney the record in the case is scheduled for destruction under the Court's record retention schedule.

2.	Tell attorney there was no hold place on the record by either of the parties.

3.	Tell attorney that since the case was reversed, remanded or whatever is the appropriate situation with that particular case, that the Court wanted to call and make sure the case would not be coming back to the Court of Appeals before we send the record to Recycling.

4.	If the attorney indicates the case will be or may be coming back to the Court of Appeals, tell the attorney that we must receive a letter to that effect in order to hold the record. Ask the attorney to check with us about six months after he sends the letter to appraise us of the status of the case.

5.	Go ahead and complete two pink HOLD sheets, mark one "F" and one "R". The "R" sheet will go with the record to be filed in the Water Lab under the cases coming back to the Court file. The "F" sheet will go into the HOLD notebook.

6.	If the attorney wants to retrieve the record, fill out a white retrieval sheet stating the name of the attorney, the attorney's telephone number, the date the attorney intends to pick the record up and the name of the person, if known, who will pick up the record.

7.	Generally, contact with the appellant's attorney is sufficient, however, after conversations with the appellant's attorney, you may deem it necessary to discuss the matter with the appellee's attorney.

8.	If the attorney has any questions you are unsure about, please refer them to the Clerk/Court Administrator.

9.	If the attorney does not need the record, please recycle same.

10.	Please keep any original evidence (photos, depositions, video tapes etc.). Mark any evidence retained with our case number.
