Minn. R. Crim. P. 21.05

As amended through June 5, 2024
Rule 21.05 - Transcription, Certification and Filing

When the testimony is transcribed, the person who took the deposition must certify that the witness was duly sworn and that the deposition is a verbatim record of the witness's testimony. The person must then secure the deposition, noting the title of the case and "Deposition of (here insert name of witness)." The person must promptly file the deposition under seal with the court. The deposition must not be unsealed or disclosed except by court order.

On a party's request, documents and other things produced during the examination of a witness, or copies of them, must be marked for identification and annexed as exhibits to the deposition, and may be inspected and copied by any party.

If the person producing the exhibits requests their return, the person taking the deposition must mark them, and, after giving each party an opportunity to inspect and copy them, return the exhibits to the parties producing them. The exhibits may then be used as if annexed to the deposition.
