SPRC 7                                                  
                                                                                 
  DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS, EXHIBITS, AND STENOGRAPHIC NOTES                       
                                                                                 
     No records, exhibits, or stenographic notes shall be                        
considered for destruction in a case in which the death                          
penalty has been imposed while the defendant is still alive.                     
Before destroying any records, exhibits, or notes in a                           
capital case, the clerk will provide 60 days notice by                           
certified mail, return receipt requested, to the prosecuting                     
attorney, to the defendant's last known attorney of record,                      
and to the defendant.  To allow this notice, an attorney who                     
represents the defendant in any challenge to the conviction                      
should notify the clerk of the trial court of the fact of                        
representation and the attorney's current address.  Such                         
notification does not constitute an appearance for any                           
purpose other than receiving notice under this rule.
