                          LARLJ 5                                                
          RETRIEVING CASE FILES FROM STATE ARCHIVE                               
             OR DISTRICT COURT STORAGE FACILITY                                  
                                                                                 
    Retrieval from County Archives: Case files that have been transcribed,       
dismissed or satisfied are processed and transmitted to the State Archive        
Facility in accordance with the State Retention Schedule. In order to            
retrieve a case file from the State's facility a request form must be            
completed. The cost to retrieve a case file from archives will be set by         
court policy per case file. This fee covers the cost charged by the State        
to retrieve documents.                                                           
    Retrieval from District Court Facility: Due to limited storage space,        
some open civil case files are stored outside the County/City Building.          
These case files are accessed from the off-site facility on a weekly basis       
at no cost to the party requesting the case file.
