29.4.2 Seal the Case Record
1. If the case is not in the computer and if an original calendar can be located, make a copy
and place in the original case file before sealing. Do not mark out the case on the copy.
2. Seal the original case jacket, case history (docket sheet and index card, if such exists),
recording and log in an envelope. Add the case number, the defendant's date of birth
and the date of the sealed order to the outside of the envelope. Maintain in a locked file
cabinet. Do not open except by court order. If the court orders the case unsealed, make
appropriate notation on outside of envelope.
EXCEPTION: If the recording includes other cases, make a notation on the log that the
case file has been sealed. If a request for a copy is made, do not copy that portion of the
recording that pertains to the sealed record.
NOTE: It is not necessary to seal the audio tapes; the official retention and disposal
schedule for district court tapes applies.
3. On the original calendar, obliterate the case and mark the obliteration "sealed.”
4. If a charge(s) ordered sealed is in a circuit criminal case that originated in district court,
you must also seal the charge in the district court case.
