Destruction of Exhibits
My LLC went into a lawsuit and lost. Then after the judgement was given there was a order for realease and destruction of Exhibits. I don't know what this means so could anyone tell me what this is supposed to mean? And who filed it. Court or prosecution? Thank you.

Re: Destruction of Exhibits
Just a standard part of court procedure. After the time for appeal has passed, the exhibits no longer serve any useful purpose and can be destroyed. This is authorized by Code of Civil Procedure section 1952(c):
"(c) Upon the conclusion of the trial of a civil action or proceeding at which any exhibit or deposition has been introduced, the court shall order that the exhibit or deposition be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the clerk. The operative destruction or disposition date shall be 60 days following final determination of the action or proceeding. Final determination includes final determination on appeal. Written notice of the order shall be sent by first-class mail to the parties by the clerk."
