FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE

ARTICLE X. CONTENTS OF WRITINGS, RECORDINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS

Rule 1004. Admissibility of Other Evidence of Contents

The original is not required, and other evidence of the contents of a writing, recording, or
photograph is admissible if--

(1) Originals lost or destroyed. All originals are lost or have been destroyed, unless
the proponent lost or destroyed them in bad faith; or

(2) Original not obtainable. No original can be obtained by any available judicial
process or procedure; or

(3) Original in possession of opponent. At a time when an original was under the
control of the party against whom offered, that party was put on notice, by the pleadings
or otherwise, that the contents would be a subject of proof at the hearing, and that party
does not produce the original at the hearing; or

(4) Collateral matters. The writing, recording, or photograph is not closely related to a
controlling issue.
