(A)(1) If a court concludes that evidence in a proceeding falls within the scope of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 27-1301, and based thereon limits access to or reproduction of such evidence, the court shall, unless otherwise required by law, constantly and continuously retain care, custody, and control of such property or material, except upon a specific order of that court directing otherwise, such as pursuant to § 27-1301(3)(b).

(2) The provisions of this rule shall apply to any § 27-1301 property or material at issue in an administrative agency proceeding where such property or material is subsequently filed with the record on appeal to any court.
